From Edward McSweegan
There may be simple explanations for the experience of “Morgellons disease” (15 September, p 46). Fungi, agrobacteria and other so-called plant pathogens are known to cause infections in people with immunodeficiencies and underlying illnesses, though they have not been associated with delusional parasitosis.
Readers should also have been alerted to the fact that Morgellons enthusiasts Ahmed Kilani and Robert Bransfield are advisers to the Morgellons Research Foundation.
