This wiki article would disagree with you.
Also youtube videos , do not make for compelling evidence that the disease is real.
Randy Wymore, a former research director of the MRF and presently director of the Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences' Center for the Investigation of Morgellons Disease, claims that Morgellons patients have submitted masses of dark fibers visible at 60x magnification under the unbroken skin, while unaffected individuals do not.[3]
Wymore sent samples of fibers, none of which was collected by biopsy, to the Police Crime Lab in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for analysis. A forensic scientist at the Tulsa Police Crime Lab in Oklahoma searched the FBI's national database, but the Morgellons sample did not match any known fiber in the database.

---SNIP---
The above quote was taken from the wiki itself.
This is my very first post, so I hope I'm doing this right!
Let it be known that I have no dog in this fight; I just saw the headline and clicked on it because anything to do with biology interests me and I love a good mystery. I'm also not picking a fight with anyone; just confused as to how you read that quote and came up with the conclusion you did.
You're using this Wiki quote to try and disprove the existence of this disease, when in the very first sentence it clearly identifies the doctor you're quoting - he is the director of the Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences' Center for the Investigation of Morgellons Disease (which rather implies it does exist, even if they aren't sure what it is)
AND he did not say that the fibers don't exist - he said that real "Morgellons patients have submitted masses of dark fibers visible at 60x magnification under the unbroken skin, while unaffected individuals do not."
He was comparing those who have the fibers underneath the skin (as seen with magnification) to unaffected individuals. That tells me that it's not something we all have under our skin, that these doctors have been able to view the fibers under the skin of Morgellons patients, and that something must be causing this very real disease or condition, even if that something remains a mystery.
Hardly compelling evidence that the disease isn't real...just sayin'.
On topic: I've not eaten McNuggets for a long time now. It's nasty looking, once you take a close look. It might have chicken somewhere inside, but I'll take real, white breast meat anyday over that mystery substance! YUCK!edit on 18-8-2013 by KittyGalore because: on topic addition
This wiki article would disagree with you.
OT: this is naturalnews. hardly a source worth considering as legitimate.

Wouldn't you prefer a banana instead?
