Most research since 2013 suggests MD is spread by a tick, so it is unlikely to be contagious. People who don’t have MD and live with family members that do rarely get symptoms themselves. The fibers and skin that are shed may cause skin irritation to others, but can‘t infect them.

Furthermore, what is Morgellons disease caused by? Many health care professionals believe that Morgellons disease is a form of psychosis that causes the person to imagine that they are infested by parasites (delusional parasitosis) rather than a diagnosis based upon physical signs. Research on this syndrome has so far not found it to be caused by an infection.

Similarly one may ask, is Morgellons fatal?

“A serious and often deadly systemic infection is present in Morgellons samples. But spirochetal infections, such as Borrelia burgdorferi, are well known to affect the central nervous system and cause psychiatric symptoms.

What are the first signs of Morgellons?

People who have Morgellons disease report the following signs and symptoms:

  • Skin rashes or sores that can cause intense itching.
  • Crawling sensations on and under the skin, often compared to insects moving, stinging or biting.
  • Fibers, threads or black stringy material in and on the skin.
  • Fatigue.
  • Difficulty concentrating.
