The Morgellons and Lyme Relationship

Gordon Medical Forum

Despite decades of reported cases, very little is known about Morgellons disease, making it one of modern medicine's most enigmatic conditions. The medical literature remains sparse, and many healthcare providers still need to familiarize themselves with its true physical nature.

Once thought to be a delusional disorder, Morgellons disease has emerged as a complex physical condition that can present as unusual fibers embedded in skin lesions. Research has now established clear links between Morgellons and several infectious agents, particularly Borrelia burgdorferi.

In this episode, Nafysa Parpia, ND, and Eboni Cornish, MD, help us unravel the intricate connections between Morgellons and various triggers - from Lyme disease and H-pylori to environmental factors like mold exposure and metal toxicity as well as how COVID is adding another layer of complexity to this condition.

Episode Highlights:

• Understanding the link between Morgellons and Lyme disease
• Identifying populations at higher risk for Morgellons
• Diagnostic criteria of Morgellons disease
• Environmental triggers: The impact of mold, mycotoxins, and metal exposure
• Morgellons symptoms that overlap with other chronic conditions
