In 2002, a mother from Pittsburgh named Mary Leitao is launching a website that shows cuts in the skin and structures such as filaments or fibers in the skin of her son who was 2 years old. Since then nearly 14,000 families reported the same case, the condition is referred to as Morgellons disease.
Morgellon's disease is a condition that is very controversial. The question of whether the disease is truly physical illnesses or just delusions of psychiatric disorders is still debated. If it is a physical disease, the disease is believed to have been the combination of infectious viruses, bacteria, and fungi.
