What Is Morgellons?
9. Who’s At Risk
With so little known about Morgellons disease, it is difficult to say exactly who is more likely to develop it. However, there are some people that appear to be more likely to catch it than others. This includes people that are more likely to be exposed to ticks, and those that have Lyme disease.
The condition also appears to be more prevalent in white women who are middle-aged. There is also thought to be a link between Morgellons disease and hypothyroidism. It is not thought to be contagious, so people that are close to others with the disease are not at a higher risk of developing it themselves.
