Morgellons: Insights from Marty Ross, MD

What’s Behind Morgellons

What’s happening: Morgellons, a condition marked by painful skin lesions and systemic symptoms, often faces skepticism. Dr. Marty Ross, a Lyme disease specialist, delves into the complexities of Morgellons, its symptoms, and potential care strategies.

Why it matters: Those affected by Morgellons struggle with symptoms that extend beyond the skin, often feeling dismissed by mainstream medical communities as having psychosomatic disorders. However, Dr. Ross uncovers critical links between Morgellons and Lyme disease plus tick-borne infections like Bartonella and Babesia.

Reality check: The hallmark of Morgellons is the formation of sores and ulcers that can itch, burn, and produce black and other colored filaments—concentrated keratin fibers, not parasites. Laboratory studies confirm, the lesions and fibers are not caused by parasitic infections. Complicated further by co-infections like Bartonella and Babesia, over 90% of Dr. Ross’s patients with Morgellons also have Lyme disease or other underlying tick-borne infections which are the cause. In Marty Ross, MD’s opinion, Morgellons is a skin manifestation of Lyme and other tick-borne infecions.

The big picture: Connecting Morgellons to Lyme disease guides care strategies. By recognizing Lyme and tick-borne infections as the cause, Dr. Ross and other experts like Ginger Savely, DNP, aim to care with a focus on managing these infections.
