Ever heard of people complaining about bugs under their skin? Some doctors diagnose this as Delusional Parasitosis but more and more cases of Morgellons Disease are being cropping up US and other countries. Morgellons Disease is a parasite-like infection that literally makes a person feel like their skin is crawling.This disease was first reported back in the 1600's but was misdiagnosed.

I ran across this 9 minute video and thought and then thought it may be worth sharing since the CDC is starting to investigate it. A google search will turn up tons of info but this is the story that sparked my curosity. This is another scary disease because doctors right now don't know where it came from, if it's contagious or the how contagious it is or how to treat it.

It's kinda sad - first a dad dies from an unknown illness and now the whole family has what Dad had and doctors thought they were nuts (mom was a biologist and did her own study). They traveled to Oklahoma to finally find a doctor that didn't think they were nuts
