Morgellons Syndrome: Morgellons (also called Morgellons disease or Morgellons syndrome) is when someone has the delusional belief that they are infested with disease-causing agents described as things like insects, parasites, hairs or fibers, but in reality no such things are present. While a doctor may not be familiar with it, they should be able to tell a person is delusional.

Morgellons: This is a very rare, psychological disorder involving delusional parasitosis with delusions of inanimate objects. Have faith in your doctor's knowledge and if they do not know about the disorder, might be time to do some teaching of your own! enjoy!
