I'm no scientist either, just a person with Morgellons, an internet connection, and an insatiable desire to know "why".
I'm sure that the Morgellons critters do have DNA. I think there are a several reasons Morgellons hasn't been identified by mainstream medicine. First, it is a critter that they believe cannot be a pathogen and simply don't look. Second, the little critter doesn't look like much like a pathogen, rather it looks much like aberrant skin cells and fibrosis that have been caused by trauma (scratching). Third, paradigms in medicine change at glacial rates. Just look at how long it took from the time that Helicobacter pylori was proposed as a cause of stomach ulcers, it took years if not decades.
In defense of mainstream medicine: They have learned from the school of hard knocks to be cautious about new discoveries.
Don't worry there are many of us working behind the scenes trying to get this disease recognized by mainstream medicine.
There is good news. You don't have to know what causes Morgellons to get over it and I have proof. Mel has recovered from Morgellons, has a website that tells how he did it, and many people that are doing what he did are getting better.
