What is the phobia name for Fear of itching or of the insects that cause itching?

Morgellons is a mental disorder where the patient feels sensations of biting, crawling and stinging, when dermatologists and doctors find nothing under the skin, or on the skin. However, Randy Wymore, a former researcher at Oklahoma State University Center of Health Sciences Center of the Investigation of Morgellons Disease discovered that patients suffering from Morgellons have masses of dark fibers under the unbroken skin, and can be seen at 60x magnification. (Unaffected individuals do not) When these fibers were shipped off to be investigated, it appears that the fibers are something that the body produces. The fibers is what makes Morgellons so controversial, as some scientists argue that they cannot be man made, while others argue that it would be reflective upon clothing fibers. [Morgellons is also a form of delusional parasitosis, but can also be the first indication of a known skin disorder, like scabies.]


How do you cure Morgellons disease?

There is no definitive diagnosis of Morgellons disease other than its classification as either nonspecific dermatitis or delusional parasitosis. Morgellons sufferers display fibrosis from external or internal sources, coupled with a sensation of subdermal movement or itching. A CDC study concluded that there was no identifiable pathogen or parasite in the majority of cases. Where topical skin treatments do not stop the symptoms, some patients responded to antipsychotic drugs, which reduced anxiety over the sensations felt. Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are sometimes successful in treating lesions and sores, but can be harmful if used over long periods of time.


What are the treatments of Morgellons disease?

Morgellons disease is when the sufferer believes their body is overrun with parasites. Symptoms include biting scratching and a general uncomfortable feeling. After a medical examination to ensure there aren't any parasites patients are usually prescribed antipsychotic drugs. Quite often these drugs are rejected by the patients who refuse to accept that it is a delusion, in these cases a mild anti biotic or placebo is prescribed.
