This has been going around the Internet like crazy lately. If you read the wiki encyclopedia that shall not be named page on it, you might be a little less afraid, as some are skeptical that the exotic symptoms the local news reports include are real:

(EDIT) OK, the link works, nevermind, sorry.

Morgellons = Hypochondriasis + Lint, and in some cases a teaspoon of Munchausen by Proxy

If the Old Ones had indeed awakened, and the government had gotten their hands on this crazy disease and were researching its unspeakable horrors, I bet they'd say something like...
[quote=the Los Angeles County Department of Health services]No credible medical or public health association has verified the existence or diagnosis of "Morgellons Disease." The current description of the disease is vague and covers many conditions. Until there is a credible, national standard for the diagnosis of this condition, there is no basis for making it a reportable disease.[/quote]

From a wholly uniformed POV, it sounds similar to the pimplyish outbreaks one gets from an overexposure to PCBs or a light exposure to Agent Orange.
And hey Mog', remember the still unexplained rash outbreaks among schoolchildren (with their weaker immune systems) in the Los Angeles basin back in '00/'01ish? That made your hypothetical quote blackly funny (as that's what pretty much was said in the papers).

Yeah, and that quote wasn't even hypothetical. I got it straight from the Wiki Encyclopedia that cannot and must not be named.
