“What I have found, I have discovered in every grocery store, in every food product”, writes Matthew in his submission, which does not include any photographs. In such instances we do want to make clear to our readers that any identifications we make will inherently be less accurate, as it is only based on what our reader has told us. “I asked a local butcher, and his response was: ‘What can we do?’. What I am talking about are tiny C-shaped nematodes about 1 mm wide and 2-3 mm long. They are clearish white, and move slowly. But what is interesting is that inside each little “C” is a lint-like worm that is a zig-zag shape, and capable of floating. The lint worms are incredibly thin, and seem to burrow into pieces of hair, clothing fibers, etc. And they gather and wind around each other as well as burrowing into our skin. But they grow. Often leaving worm-trails in the beard skin of men. So, my question is: How is no one noticing these things? Because they are everywhere. I’ve found them in tree leaves, and grass, but mostly just floating through the air. I am positive that they are what’s behind Morgellons. Except it is not rare. They are everywhere and in everything!”
To start with, given that Matthew’s story involves descriptions of worms “burrowing” into people’s skin, we will not be able to provide an identification of the worm. The reason for this is that any situation in which an organism is entering a human being, or is potentially negatively affecting their health in any way, is medical in nature. As such, only a medical professional (which we are not) can identify such organisms, as doing so is tantamount to diagnosing the issue, which is the basis for providing any necessary treatment. With that said, we realize that Matthew’s question is not actually about what they are, but how people do not notice these things. Well, when it comes to worm-like creatures that are translucent that are as minuscule as Matthew says they are, it is no wonder people do not notice them because they would be almost invisible to the naked eye. Now, we do want to caution our reader against making such bold statements as claiming that these organisms are the reason behind a serious condition like Morgellons, as experts in medicine are still not certain what the nature of the condition is.
If Matthew is worried about his own health, we recommend consulting a medical professional, rather than his butcher, as a physician is far better equipped to answer his questions. We specifically recommend consulting a medical parasitologist, as they specialize in diagnosing and treating issues caused by organisms. To find a medical parasitologist or other health care provider who can actually help, Matthew can do one or more of the following:
– Visit our parasite care resources page here: https://www.allaboutworms.com/get-medical-attention-and-tests-for-parasites
– Search for a medical parasitologist in his area using this directory of medical parasitology consultants: https://www.astmh.org/for-astmh-members/clinical-consultants-directory.
– Search for a local parasitologist by doing a Google search for “medical parasitologist (name of the closest big city)” or “tropical medicine specialist (name of the closest big city)”.
To conclude, the reason people do not notice minuscule, clear-white organisms is because they are so hard to spot! When it comes to asking questions more specific to these organisms, we recommend Matthew talk to a medical parasitologist, because they — unlike us — are qualified and legally able to identify organisms that directly affect the health of human beings. We hope this helps, and we wish Matthew the very best!

Hi I am also dealing with this as well as my 2children and 2 pet. They slide up and down my hair strands. My hair even moves on its own as if it’s alive. They float in air. They come off easy and if broken by apart still move. I see c shaped tiny white worm like things and sometimes hairs that look like dust. I find tiny black hairs everywher. Black dots also. They’re eating my hair. I’ve noticed some hair strands turning either black or white. I don’t have morgellons. I’m not crazy. I also have pictures and videos . There was one time it looked like a 6 legged bug with a horn that was attached to hair strand but every other time it was the white c shaped worm thing. Please if anyone has any idea on what this is please get in touch with me .
Yes. They’re EVERYWHERE and even come out in feces. My dogs have them. It’s crazy the bigger ones move tons.
I also see the same thing and am currently under attack by them. I have alot of photos but will upload a few. I am in Tennessee and a storm washed all of this rot onto my parents property: well a few months after the storm water has travelled through the garage wall and puddled up under an oil pan and dried. Throughout this whole time my vehicle was parked on top of it and I was getting big blisters on my skin on my ankles wrists forearms behind my knees. Doctors kept misdiagnosing and giving me antibiotics that didn’t help me at all.so I started hunting for what was eating me.. and I found this white, rusty colored substance dried up Under that oil pan. Well I poured pure permethrin on this substance and it began to bubble and over the next couple of days spread through the entire garage.. and it started to rain.. and this stuff was moving out the garage up the driveway in giant tadpole shapes.. there were sticky patties of weird goo that when put under the flame of a blowtorch for 90 seconds it would Start to pop crackle and snap and the remains of what looked like mites and Worms were left. And the entire garage floor sparkled when it dried. It literally is like a white fungus carrying evil around. It loves absorbing into bags and leaves and being tracked in the house. This white substance got into two different vehicles of mine and has ruined them. Mites coming up out of the carpeted flooring to the point they were biting me. Slowly over 6 months time they got into my body and have made me extremely sick. Nobody else in the household is sick but have the worms all over them. They are small and white and can break apart and come back together inside me or outside me. They are absorbed into everything.. literally I burned all of the leaves and the black remnants still possess the ability to send mold spores into the air onto my clothes onto anything. They eat through plastic and all the doctors are saying I’m a picker and that it’s in my head etc. well I’ve called on the power of Jesus and am battling it daily. I found some things to slow It down but nothng to eradicate. I am going to get the biocide treatment mentioned on this site and excited as I see that’s the same thing I’ve been dealing with. My sister has the same thing but calls it mogellons.
I am not crazy: I and the most logical person you’d meet and that’s why I’m determined to get to the bottom of this. Thank God for this site. I’ll upload pics later.
Please please upload pics. I am also feeling this is my situation as well.
How do I upload pics and videos?Both myself and my children are going through the same thing and my pets too! I’m in Massachusetts so it seems they are just everywhere whatever it is. Onetime I googled a picture it said a springtail but then after that they’ve always been the white c shape. They slide up and down my hair even if it’s not wrapped on the strand. It’s backside could be on my strand and still stay and slide like it sticks no matter what unless I take it off .Everyone thinks I’m crazy I can’t take it anymore. I’m so afraid of what whatever this is could cause to my health and what it’s caused by.My hair is like one thing I’ve always been complimented on as I’m a red head with very long hair and now I’m going bald. My forehead is already big as it is. I was going to try live treatment until I read someone else’s comment. I even used this small uv light thats not supposed to be for skin but to disinfect small items. I got it during Covid for my phone and daughter’s toys since at that time she was just a baby. So I fried my face almost went blind and I think it might’ve helped but now seem to be back a lot worse 2 days later . Maybe if I went in a tanning booth for more time but my daughter and son cannot do that . I have so many things in my house as well that I feel these things are on. Teddy bears ,a lot of clothes,bedding,towels,dolls hair ,rug,sofa,pets and so much more there’s no possible way I could clean everything. I feel exhausted everyday and my body aches. My daughter complains of a tummy ache and she poops a lot!! My son has them but us not as affected by them as he stays busy. It’s consuming all my time as I stop to record a strand of hair moving and have to get it in the right lighting in front of something dark or black to be able to see it on my hair movin. I feel insane but I know I’m not. I’m afraid to go to my Dr. I feel like they go in my vagina in my ears and nose eyebrows and lashes . It’s nuts please tell me how to upload a pic or vid. Thanks
