It doesn't work like that. Period.
As far as it being treated well. It has been treated well by giving people antipsychotics. Antipsychotics have NO Anti-Parasitic or Antibiotic or Antiviral characteristics. These drugs are stabilising the thoughts of these patients thus treating their misconceptions of having a disease and are not acting against any disease causing organism. Why don't you check with your "friends at RIMS and AIIMS" as to what they think about delusional parasitosis and antipsychotics.

my good man eddie buddy, if a person is havin delusion abt infected wit parasites that is termed as delusion....
as this disease is peculiar in terms of aetiology as well as diagnostic criteria...it is termed as delusional parasitosis as the both of factors present there
as far my friends goes...yep i have some friends at RIMS n AIIMS,
i won't name them, just one point....
i'm a doctor, a pass out of medical college, kolkata...
so is it unusual havin friends in other colleges???
there r many diseases termed n named, atleast as we see in our pathology textbook...which is almost 1 Ft in thickness
now compare it with medicine book, it's almost 2 inches lesser thick
so there's no remedy of all diseases
if ya don't kno the diagnosis or causative organism of that damn parasite how can ya give a patient antiparasitic drugs?????
this morgellons or DP whatever ya want to call it...has got only symptomatic management
check wat lalam said abt symptoms
does it ring any bell????
american dermatologists' term= delusional parasitosis
where delusion part is established n treated
n parasitosis part, organism is yet to be detected
just wish there won't b any outsourcing in future
godspeed
