Latest Morgellons UK research |
Morgellons is a term used by many countries around the world to describe a medical condition that has the following set of symptoms.
These symptoms include itchy skin, with crawling, biting sensations, white granules from skin and hair follicles, chronic fatigue, sores/lesions and fibrous material coming from skin.
Morgellons Disease, is not a recognised condition in the UK.
Why? Because very little clinical research has been done so far.
The term 'Morgellons', may disappear once the cause has been determined. Until then, this label helps to distinquish it for all those interested and concerned - whether it's to gain knowledge for professional purposes or to locate the centres of support that are available for sufferers.
