A new disease that has now infected more than 10,000 households and their pets. Research is now showing that nano technology is responsible for infecting people with this disease everyday.

Morgellons? = I'm from Kentucky and I don't think that grows in this state? Nano technology? = I watched the super nanny program on FOX one time. Sorry, just a dumb old hillbilly here.

Though Morgellons is very real so is the nano technology and "nanites" that affect humans - there are a lot of possible answers as to why they are not warning people, and some very valid opinions that lead to major conspiracy theories. Report Abuse

Why didn't the CDC implement procedures in all USA hospitals to eliminate MRSA by 99% like Norway did? Norway hospitals swab every patient before they are admitted to test for MRSA and then keep them strictly isolated for the protection of all, but not here, because of MONEY, so the MRSA spreads here Report Abuse

Morgellons disease is still not understood and has been confused with other illnesses. It is confused most often with an illness called delusional parasitosis (DP). Morgellons causes a sensation of something crawling on the skin leading patinets to scratch and this scratching also causes scratch marks that distract the doctors from seeing the lesions caused by the disease. At least one scientist examining a skin biopsy, viewed with high magnification, has seen clumps of fibers in the skin. This suggests some illness may be causing the fibers to build up under the skin and may be responsible for other lesions and this illness may also be causing the distressing skin sensations. I am guessing that because Morgellons disease superficially resembles a psychiatric illness (DP), and Morgellons has not been defined adequately, the CDC may feel that they cannot accurately tell people about it and the CDC may feel that warning people about it may not prevent it. Also some dermatologists who have seen patients with this disease feel that many people with suspected Morgellons actually have another illness. It is very likely that some people who have symptoms of Morgellons disease actually do have something else. As of June 2006 CDC is investigating this illness and needs to establish diagnostic criteria to define Morgellons and separate it from other illnesses before it can discuss it with more certainty. CDC does not seem to be hiding the possibility that this is a real and not yet understood disease, but just cannot comment on it with certainty.

What should I do, diagnosed with arthritis?
... there's a business man who owns an antidote company for infectious diseases. Firstly he "designs" a disease (and it's antidote), releases the disease into the world, people get ill and desperately need a cure, and then as *his* company already have the antidote ready they are the first suppliers, and he makes a load of money from people buying the antidote. The movie is told from the viewpoint of another (younger) man who has found out about this dodgy disease/antidote businessman, and who is trying to expose the businessman for who he is; a fraud. Early on in the movie the businessman discovers the young man is onto him, and injects him with a new disease while giving him a handshake in a hotel reception. For the rest of the movie the young man is trying to find the secret laboratories where the antidote to the disease he has contracted is - there is only 1 vial of the disease in these labs, and there's a lot of running around and "ooh, who's in possession of the vial atm?!* towards the end of the film. I think in the end the young man gets cured and the businessman gets infected and dies. Any ideas?!!- not A Time To Kill, but thanks anyway...
What's the movie where...?
Please read. I need a vets opinion on this. Just a couple weeks ago we started to notice that my kitten (5 months old) was starting to gain a little weight. After a while he ballooned. His abdomen got the "pot belly" and everywhere else was skinny/bony. At first it didn't really effect him and was his usual self. But we took him to the vet just in case. They looked at him and told us we had nothing to worry about, and that it was just kitten pudge. I didn't think that could have been it but I decided to try not to worry about it. I was gone for about 5 days and came back to his bot belly a lot bigger than it was before... It sticks out about 3 inches on each side... That's how enormous his stomach is. I heard that FIP is called "the purring disease" and that's another thing too. We thought it was just his personality. Every time you touch him or pick him up he instantly purrs. Which got him his nickname insta-purr lol... He hasn't showed any other signs like diarrhea, vomiting or anything else. But could it be too early for those signs? I'm taking my kitten (Leo) to the vet again today. Nothing is going to happen other than tests. But if it's for sure he has it. Then I want him to go in peace... I hate seeing him like this and I want a vets second opinion about it... Thanks you. I apreciate you taking the time to read this and answer. also I read his papers that came with him when I got him from the humane society. He didn't have the vaccination for FIP. And weve recently tested him at the vet for internal paracites. So I don't think that's it.
Please I need a veterinarians opinion!! My kitten might have FIP (feline infectious peritonitis)!!?
Im really freaking out about this infectuous disease...HIV......Before being accepted for his current job, my husband had to be subject to medical examinationand he said they didn't notify him about any health problems since he was offered the jobWell...what i want to know is since he had to do medical examinations it reassures us that he does not have infectious diseases including...HIV infection...could it be correct? He keeps telling me if he had infectious disease like an HIV infection they would have called him and since at work they didnt tell him anything it means he is clean...Please your opinionsThank you
Husband...it reassures no infectious disease...could it be correct? im freaking out...please...?
I had donated blood to the red cross and they sent me a letter saying they were rejecting it because I tested positive for HTLV-1, they provided a phone number for a counselor but instead of calling I went to my Dr. Prior to receiving that letter, for like 6 months I had been waking up every other week with random unexplained bruises on my legs, some were small and on one occassion I had one the size of a grape fruit on the back of my leg below my knee. My Dr ran a CBC which came back with normal levels but the HTLV-1 came back positive, he has referred me to a Neurologist and an Infectious Disease Specialist which I will be seeing next week. I didn't get any answers and frankly everything happened too fast I was afraid to ask anything to this Dr who seemed scared after seeing my results, he stepped out twice to phone the specialist during our check up. Looking back, not only have I been having unexplained bruising but since I was 12, I'm now 28 I have suffered from terrible leg pains, it is such a deep pain which I feel to the bone, this pain would keep me up at night in tears as a child but all the Dr we went to would just say it was normal, that it was growing pains and no tests would be done. I have continued to get these leg pains but not as often as I did when I was a child, I'm now terrified after researching HTLV-1 that I may have Leukemia. Anyone out there with Leukemia also diagnosed with HTLV-1???
Can having HTLV-1 and random bruises indicate I have Leukemia?
Hi, Our indoor cat just came back after a night out in the neighborhood in the poring rain. He looked a little confused and soaking wet when he walked to our front door in the morning. He was shaking as if from the cold, and seemed to be a little scared. He ate his pouched cat food as well as some treats, we gave him a sponge bath with just water and dried his fur. Now he is napping, and noticed his back paws are twitching. And it doesn't look like the twitching cats do in their sleep; it is more repetitive. And his paws are also very blistered like he ran for a while on the pavement. Do you think it's just the stress of being on his own all night in the rain, or is it a symptom of some infectious disease such as rabies or anything else? I doubt the latter because I know it takes time for this stuff to develop. So what do you think? Also, would you say we should take him to the vet er (it's Sunday and our vet is unavailable), or let him sleep it off and see what he's like tomorrow? Thanks for your answers!
Cat run away for 12 hours came back in the morning paws blistered legs twitch in his sleep. What could it be?
She seems listless , tired and depressed after getting sick with this. She has had a sonogram, tests for various cat diseases, thyroid, diabetes, feline infectious pancreatitis. She was just tested for pancreatitis. The doctor doesn't think it is lymphoma since she has gained a 1.2 pounds since she became ill and refused to eat. I feed her bland food and she gets bored and refuses to eat it. She is 13. Thanks, I just wonder the next step. I know a biopsy is a consideration . I keep her from stress provoking situations but really want my life back. She still has diarrhea or soft stools about twice a week and doesn't act like herself.
How do you treat and feed a cat with inflammatory bowel?
Scientists created vaccinations to prevent diseases like polio, diphtheria and measles. There are many more infectious diseases that scientists feel they have little incentive to create vaccinations for. Why would this be? list reasons please :)

White blood cells are a defense mechanism for infectious disease. A) True?
My girlfriend's dog scratched me in my hand and does not have his rabies shots. I am very paranoid about infectious diseases. Now, the scratch was very small and only left a white mark. It faded before the end of the day, actually. I know to keep an eye on the dog for the next several days for odd behavior. This dog lives primarily indoors, however is around many others that she owns. My question is, is a scratch really something to be concerned about? I am not sure if this dog licks his claws. He is usually pretty calm in nature and was only acting anxious because I was holding him in the car. Yes, I know I've asked a LOT of questions in the past about rabies. It's an odd, irrational fear of mine that has haunted me since I was little. No need to copy, paste me jargon about rabies from various sites. Chances are, I've read it. I just need to know how concerning a scratch is.

White blood cells are a defense mechanism for infectious disease. A) True?
My girlfriend's dog scratched me in my hand and does not have his rabies shots. I am very paranoid about infectious diseases. Now, the scratch was very small and only left a white mark. It faded before the end of the day, actually. I know to keep an eye on the dog for the next several days for odd behavior. This dog lives primarily indoors, however is around many others that she owns. My question is, is a scratch really something to be concerned about? I am not sure if this dog licks his claws. He is usually pretty calm in nature and was only acting anxious because I was holding him in the car. Yes, I know I've asked a LOT of questions in the past about rabies. It's an odd, irrational fear of mine that has haunted me since I was little. No need to copy, paste me jargon about rabies from various sites. Chances are, I've read it. I just need to know how concerning a scratch is.
