Warning Signs Of Morgellons Disease

Feelings Of Being Bitten Or Stung

An individual who experiences strange sensations or feelings of their skin being bitten or stung may be affected by Morgellons disease. Symptoms related to abnormal sensations are thought to be the result of psychiatric problems like delusional parasitosis or unexplained dermopathy. Other possible causes of the abnormal and unpleasant skin sensations in Morgellons disease patients include nerve issues precipitated by Lyme disease. The pathogenesis of the sensations felt by Morgellons disease patients is poorly understood and sparsely researched. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention states that Morgellons disease does not develop as a result of any environmental substances like those that produce allergies and other unrelated dermopathies. The most common symptom complaint made by affected individuals is unpleasant sensations in the skin. These sensations have been described to feel like bugs are crawling all over or underneath the skin, intense and severe itching, feeling of stings or zaps in the skin, and the feeling of the skin burning or being bitten.
