Skeptic Believes Bottled Water from France is Cause for Morgell
When the public panics, outlandish stories of cause and affect spread like wildfire. When Morgellons Disease stories began to spread across the media and the internet, a blogger, Jim Mortellaro published an article a bout the dreaded disease. Morgellons, a disease that causes the victim to fell the sensation of thousands of bugs beneath their skin, is argued that it is either psychological in nature or it does not exist at all. The origin of the disease or its existence is still in question. Mr. Mortellaro has made a claim that a website has published the true origin of Morgellons Disease and it is not the run of the mill sources you would think of.
Bizarre theories have come out about Morgellons origin almost daily on the web. One theory supports the idea that during the last three decades the United States used nano-technology to biologically destroy insects. The worms used were deposited in the cotton bowls of cotton plants. The bacterium from the worm gets intertwined with the cotton fibers and when those fibers are used to make clothes, the bacteria infects the wearer. This has been supported and disputed by countless authors who are trying to publish articles through fear tactics. The lack of peer reviewed articles to support this theory shed light that scientific research from creditable institutions had not been done.
Jim Mortellaro’s theory is just as weird. He claims that the Morgellons come from an aquatic organism called stenotrophomonas maltophila. He goes on to explain that the bacteria are resistant to most of the antibiotics we use in the United States. Though stenotrophomonas maltophilia has never been known to cause the symptom of Morgellons which causes colored fibers to come out of the skin, he attributes that this is the origin of Morgellons. He goes on to accuse that the bottled water from France was the suspect even though some bottled water in the United States might also be affected.
When you read anything of the Internet, you must find out if the author is creditable. Jim Mortellaro is a retired police officer from New York. Does this make him creditable? You decide. Jim also claimed to have been abducted by aliens at age four. Now what do you think? An informational article is only as good as its sources, and this one is not that good. Morgellons disease is to serious of a disease, whether it is real or people just believe it is real. To give false hope to thousands of sufferers of Morgellons should be a criminal act. After searching the internet for more information about Morgellons and French bottled water, not a single article except for Mr. Mortellaro’s was found. When researching Morgellons, look at the source and where they cite their sources. There are a lot of scammers out there looking to cash in on your fear. There is serious research out there in peer reviewed magazines and journals. Articles like this are written to fuel the fires of fear and should not be given a second glance.
