Oh I hear your pain, I have morgellons and even went through a stage I was to scared to even cuddle my kids through fear of giving it to them. I also have lymes disease and I have been worried they have also got it as I had it unknowingly ( Dr's couldn't tell me back then what was wrong with me) when I was pregnant. We have all changed our diet, only use neem soap on ourselves, avoid processed, artificial food, take olive leaf extract and when ever I ser a suspicious mark on the kids I cover them in thuja cream, but it must have an aqueous base, anything else clogs pores. I hope this might help your anguish. If it is highly contagious I figure my husband would be infested. But not so go figure how this thing works, all I know is I have tried to many things to mention but this is it. I finally can see a turn around. Things can only get better. Best wishes.
