A while back someone posted about a rare disease that causes lesions on the skin that sprout non organic fibers. I wanted to show it to someone but did a search and couldn't find it. I know it started with the letter M. Can anyone help.

Fyi-

Neurological function severely affected
The peripheral nervous system is often affected by this disease, but the most significant element of the infection, appears to be the effect on the central nervous sytem. Nearly all people with this illness report extreme difficulty with mental concentration and short term memory. Mood disorders, such as depression and Bipolar Disorder, are extremely common in this group of patients, affecting well over half of all individuals reporting symptoms of Morgellons Disease. Parents of children with Morgellons disease report that the majority of these children have ADHD, ODD, mood disorders, or autism. It is estimated that 65% of these children have some form of psychiatric illness, and 10% have an autism spectrum disorder.
The majority of individuals reporting symptoms of Morgellons Disease reside in California, Texas, and Florida.
