This photo provided by Centers for Disease Control shows a case-patient with skin lesions, left, and a close-up of one of the lesions with mysterious blue fibers sprouting from the skin, published as part of a CDC study on Morgellons. Results of the CDC study released Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2012 conclude that Morgellons exists only in the patients' minds. Sufferers of the mystery illness describe a variety of symptoms, including fatigue, erupting sores, crawling sensations on their skin and — perhaps worst of all — mysterious red, blue or black fibers that sprout from their skin. (AP Photo/CDC)AP – Imagine having the feeling that tiny bugs are crawling on your body, that you have oozing sores and mysterious fibers sprouting from your skin. Sound like a horror movie? Well, at one point several years ago, government doctors were getting up to 20 calls a day from people saying they had such symptoms.
