Morgellons Petition: Ask the CDC to Reassess the Research
A Morgellons petition can help patients ask for something reasonable: updated public-health attention, better research review, clearer clinician education, and less automatic dismissal of people reporting skin lesions, fibers, crawling sensations, tick-borne illness history, and medical gaslighting.
Morgellons remains controversial, but patients still deserve careful evaluation. A stronger public-health response would not require doctors to accept every internet claim. It would encourage clinicians to review the research, document findings, rule out lookalikes, and treat patients with dignity.
This page is educational and advocacy-focused. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you have worsening wounds, signs of infection, fever, severe pain, or urgent symptoms, seek medical care from a licensed professional.
Why a Morgellons Petition Still Matters
Morgellons patients often face a difficult mix of symptoms, stigma, uncertainty, and dismissal. Many report slow-healing skin lesions, unusual fibers or filaments, crawling or stinging sensations, fatigue, pain, tick exposure, Lyme disease history, and years of being told that nothing physical is happening.
At the same time, the condition remains disputed in mainstream medicine. Some medical sources frame Morgellons through unexplained dermopathy or delusional infestation. Other published papers describe Morgellons as a dermatologic condition involving filaments that may be embedded in, or project from, skin tissue.
A petition will not settle the science by itself. However, it can help patients ask public-health agencies, clinicians, and researchers to take the issue seriously enough to review the literature, update educational materials, and encourage careful clinical rule-outs instead of automatic dismissal.
Sign the Current Morgellons Petition
The current petition asks the CDC to make a statement about Lyme and Morgellons science, acknowledge the body of published research, and help reduce the barriers that prevent patients from receiving careful evaluation.
Before signing, read the petition carefully and decide whether the wording represents what you want public-health officials to hear. Strong advocacy works best when it is accurate, focused, and respectful.
What We Are Asking the CDC to Revisit
In 2012, a CDC-associated investigation studied patients with symptoms commonly associated with Morgellons or unexplained dermopathy. That study did not identify a common infectious source and concluded that the condition remained unexplained.
Since then, additional publications have argued that Morgellons deserves renewed attention, especially where filaments appear embedded in skin tissue or where patients also have evidence of Lyme disease or other tick-borne illness. Other medical reviews continue to emphasize uncertainty, psychiatric overlap, and the need for careful clinical management.
That is why updated review matters. Patients do not benefit from exaggerated claims, but they also do not benefit from outdated assumptions. A responsible reassessment should look at all sides: dermatology, infectious disease, pathology, microscopy, tick-borne illness research, neuropathy, environmental contaminants, and delusional infestation literature.

What a Stronger Public-Health Response Could Include
Updated Research Review
Public-health agencies should review the full body of Morgellons literature, including papers that disagree with each other, instead of relying on one outdated framing.
Clinician Education
Clinicians need better guidance on how to evaluate patients respectfully, rule out common lookalikes, document skin findings, and avoid premature conclusions.
Patient Safety
Patients need protection from both automatic dismissal and fear-based misinformation, including unsafe self-treatment, miracle cures, and unsupported internet tests.
What This Petition Is Not Saying
Responsible advocacy should be clear about what it is asking for. This Morgellons petition is not asking the CDC to accept every internet claim, diagnose people through photos, promote unsafe treatments, or ignore psychiatric and dermatologic rule-outs.
The request is more practical: acknowledge that Morgellons patients exist, review the research fairly, educate clinicians about balanced evaluation, and help reduce stigma so patients can receive careful medical attention.
After You Sign the Morgellons Petition
Signing a petition is one step. You can also help by contributing patient data, sharing responsible resources, and encouraging a better conversation between patients and clinicians.
- Take the Morgellons patient survey.
- Share the research library with people who want sources instead of speculation.
- Document symptoms carefully with photos, dates, and clinical history.
- Encourage patients to seek medical care for infected or worsening lesions.
- Help patients avoid fear-based content, unsafe self-treatment, and exploitative products.
- Share doctor-finder resources with patients who need a more respectful evaluation.
Other Morgellons Petitions and Awareness Campaigns
Over the years, patients and advocates have created many Morgellons petitions. Some may be inactive, archived, outdated, or written in language that no longer reflects the most responsible advocacy strategy. They are still part of the patient-advocacy history around Morgellons.

Help Bring Morgellons Patients Into the Conversation
Morgellons patients deserve better than silence, stigma, fear, or exploitation. A clear petition, responsible research library, patient survey, and careful documentation can all help move the conversation toward evidence and humane care.
