Imagine feeling like insects are crawling under your skin. Imagine strange fibers emerging from painful sores, dismissed by doctor after doctor as being "all in your head." This is the baffling reality for thousands reporting symptoms of Morgellons Disease, a condition that sits squarely on the unsettling border between known medicine and the unexplained.

In this episode, we investigate a modern medical mystery. We'll delve into the disturbing symptoms of Morgellons, examine the landmark CDC study that found no clear cause, and explore the competing hypotheses – from delusional infestation to potential links with Lyme disease. Crucially, we'll ask: in an era of genomic sequencing and advanced imaging, why does this condition remain so elusive? Could new technology finally provide answers where traditional science has fallen short? This is the story of what happens when science goes missing.
