In short, you and your ex’s MDs were most likely right about him being nuts. If I were you, I’d not bring up the subject with him, if you can avoid it. |
well... it could be a home test on whether his condition is psychatric. Maybe a dual test on my own psychology even. Will I torment or will I will I let him be?

According to several of the sites I browsed, another explanation is that they are similar because the causative agents are similar clothing or furniture – that is, that these fibers are not produced by the patients’ bodies, but imbedded in them. Many of the fringier Morgellons study and support groups appear reluctant to compare their fibers to samples from the patient’s environments – one of the reasons mainstream medical researchers consider them fringy. |
Yes but from the abc link I posted and referenced in the wiki link:
Forensic scientist Ron Pogue at the Tulsa Police Crime Lab in Oklahoma checked a Morgellons sample against known fibers in the FBI's national database. "No, no match at all. So this is some strange stuff," Pogue said in 2006. He thought the skeptics were wrong. "This isn't lint. This is not a commercial fiber. It's not."
I assume when he uses the term skeptic, he is referring to the people who are from the Morgellons camp, rather than the medical community who are putting this into the lint category.
Its good thats its being investigated further no doubt. Its bad enough when a person has mental issues and trying to get them to deal with that. But its way worse when someone who is reporting a real condition is labeled as mentally unsound and advised to take anti-psychotics, anti-depression, etc.
