Morgellon's Syndrome: Evidence of a Microorganism Causing an Unexplained Dermopathy

The document reviewed Dr. Conroy's book on Morgellon's disease (MD), which proposed a new theory involving a microorganism attracted to cocaine. The book was criticized for its pseudoscientific approach, misuse of medical terminology, and lack of credible evidence. Dr. Conroy, a Canadian family physician, conducted unorthodox experiments without proper consent or scientific rigor. The book included black and white photographs and a DVD with color images, but failed to provide factual support for its claims. The review emphasized the need for dermatologists to understand MD to provide compassionate care, despite the lack of scientific validity in most MD literature.
