If this could mean anything or not. If it is related or not, who knows. This is information from personal account and others in the neighborhood. Appears that in our neck of the woods in Florida, folks are complaining of crawling sensations on the scalp and body. Same symptoms of LICE, but checking for lice turns up no results. Same with many others locally. Even the stores and Pharmacies are wiped out of lice treatment medicine. Isn't that something. I personally know what lice is ,and how it feels to have been covered in these little bastards on a couple of occasions. Having had kids in school, many know of this as well. I can say this, It Is Not LICE ! The sensations are growing greater. Putting this together with the Nano talk, I feel the two may be related.

Most dermatologists, psychiatrists, and other medical professionals view Morgellons as a new name for a well established condition, delusional parasitosis,[41] also known as "delusions of parasitosis" (DP or DOP) and Ekbom's Syndrome: Morgellons is "a pattern of dermatologic symptoms very similar, if not identical, to those of delusions of parasitosis,"[41] and "the vast majority"[26] (elsewhere, 95%)[42] of Morgellons patients are diagnosed with delusional parasitosis or another psychosomatic illness. This explanation is, however, "unpopular among individuals identifying themselves as having Morgellons disease."[43]
In delusional parasitosis, patients hold a delusional belief that they are infested with parasites. They may experience formication, a sensation similar to that of insects crawling on or under the skin. Individuals suffering from this condition may develop elaborate rituals of inspection and cleansing to locate and remove "parasites" and fibers, resulting in a form of self-mutilation; they injure themselves in attempts to be rid of the "parasites" by picking at the skin, causing lesions, and then pick at the lesions, preventing them from healing.[4] Patients with delusional parasitosis often present at the doctor's office with what MDs term the "matchbox sign"[26][44] -- a medical sign characterized by the patient making collections of fibers and other foreign objects supposedly retrieved from the skin[4] -- and, because of "unshakeable delusional ideation", strongly reject diagnoses that do not involve parasites.[26][45] A significant minority of DP cases occur in groups of two, three, or more individuals in close proximity, even families, known by the French terms folie à deux, folie à trois, and folie à famille.[26] Delusional parasitosis, with symptoms that have "extraordinary similarities" to Morgellons, has been described in the medical literature for over 75 years.[46] Dr. Noah Craft, a dermatologist at the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Torrance, CA, has seen a handful of Morgellons patients and biopsied their skin lesions, but found only normal skin and inflammation, as one would find in a bump that has been picked at.[14]
