What Is Morgellons?
3. Delusional Parasitosis
Another common symptom that is associated with the condition is the sensation that the skin is crawling. Patients explain the symptom as though there is something crawling on their skin or just beneath the skin. Some people will also describe a sensation that feels as though they have been stung.
Researchers into the condition have not yet been able to find any source of the patient’s symptoms. This has led to the symptom to be known as delusional parasitosis, which is a name that is also often given to cases of Morgellons. Some people have even been accused of faking the symptom when no underlying cause can be found.
