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.]
