About this movie

A nurse squares off against a dermatologist as they fight to discover the truth behind Morgellons, a disease whose bizarre symptoms include fibers growing out of victims' skin.

Now, as evidence linking Morgellons to Lyme disease mounts, the question arises, "Who is delusional, the patients who believe or the doctors who deny?

Ratings and reviews

Wish the non believers could experience the pain, the biting the crawling sensations that I have had over the last 15 years.. After I found the article..(Morgellon's disease from delusion to definition) I was finally able to have my doctor change my prognosis from delusional parasitosis to Morgellons disease... He is now studying the disease and trying everything he can think of to help me find relief as the cure is still unknown... Call me delusional if you like but I know the truth, I know the pain of fibers growing within the skin, the crawling sensations and the sharp pain of the feeling of glass shards in your skin where the fibers break surface. This has nothing to do with delusion..(SFY)........and with the help of cell phone microscopes I have documented proof of the fibers embedded in my skin. Enduring the pain of pulling Keritan plugs that have grown throughout the sites I have removed plugs as big around as the lead of a pencil and as deep as an eighth of an inch. I have photos of plugs that you can see the root where it goes through the skin then bubbles out like the top of a tree.I have photos of many of these plugs and fibers so don't talk to me about delusion. I will be buying the documentary right after by I get this posted.... To you doctors that might read this and be a non believer I say.. Open your minds do some research think about you telling a patient they are delusional when they are already suffering from a debilitating disease and you are only making things worse. Open your ears and listen to your patient and consider the fact that a tiny bite can infect the patient with over 100 different bacterias. Borrelia burgdorferi is one of them and causes spirochetal infections in humans.

This work of fiction is so far off point and full of lies about Morgellons disease. This is what's called propaganda. When the Germans used it they used it on enemies, not their own people. There is a plathera real information about morgellons that gets oppressed all the time by garbage productions like this one.

Tbh I was a little disappointed because ,even though it does make the viewer believe that Morgellons is a real physical & mental disease, I dont think it portrays how devastating it truly is. Also, there was only maybe 10 different symptoms mentioned and I for one have had over 50 different symptoms, many of them bizarre, come and go. Lastly, I wish they had gone " down the rabbit hole " at least a little bit. But it was nicely done and a good "part one" in a story that is still unfolding.
