"Regarding the term 'morgellons' we would...employ it hesitantly..."

McFly — 4/23/2007 8:44:00 PM (archived)

Regarding the term â€œmorgellonsâ€ we would, at this point, employ it hesitantly, in the absence of a scientifically vetted case definition.

Lindy, you admonish us to "become informed," but it seems to me that's exactly what the people at the CDC are *trying* to do. Jumping the gun and putting words in their mouths does nothing useful.
