filarial parasites and lyme coinfections
Labrat has a different opinion of what he's found with morgellons. But, yes, many people test positive for Lyme too. But..Dr's also tell them they are delusional, and imagining they have
parasites crawling under their skin, or exiting.
I don't think it's a coincidence that what
http://www.lymephotos.com
says with finding the microfilarial type
parasites existing with lyme coinfections..is also what many people have also found co-existing when getting started hitting pathogens with rife too.
There are different types of filarial parasites. One of the most common things people with Lyme talk about, is feeling the "creepy crawly under the skin parasites". Is it a coincidence that that's also what people with filarial type worms feel too?
People doing the salt/vitamin C protocal for Lyme..also find the filarial type nematodes exiting through the skin.
Read the thread about "feeling like a pin cushion" on the yahoo groups salt/c.

Here's one of the posts in that thread:
The critters folks have reported exiting the body through skin, ears, tongue, top of head (!) are microfilarial worms (nematodes, nematomorphs). And yes, it is important to let them come all the way out and not break them off before they do.
This follows the theory, advanced by the Lymephotos folks at
http://www.lymephotos.com,
that these worms actually "protect" as well as feed on Borrelia bacterial forms. In that they have reached symptom-free, one has to consider their theory - plus all the samples that were recovered and photographed at their site. This would help explain the long recovery time from lyme, as certain of the Borrelia would being "protected" by these guys.
Lyme bacteria keets would be too small to see with the naked eye. It would take 1500 of them end-to-end to make up an
inch and 100,000 side-by-side to make up and
inch too.
Thanks to the lymephotos folks guidance, I have studied certain agriculture literature where the nematode/bacteria relationship has been known for decades. It describes how nematodes will infect certain insect hosts, release bacteria they carry inside them, let the bacteria "feed and flourish" off the insect host, and then feed off the bacteria - not unlike how we raise cows and chickens as food supply.
In fact, there's some nematode/bacteria that do this and cause the insect host to literally explode from the rampant bacterial reproduction!
Dr. Willie Burgdorfer, the discoverer of the lyme Borrelia spirochete, also found microfilarial worms in some of the ticks he dissected, but did not consider them significant.
