Morgellons Remedies

Hi Maruska from Western NY, I would like to know how you did with the corn huskers lotion for your morgellons. Did it get rid of them completely?

Sincerely, Sophia

I am in Oklahoma I have morgellons horrible they itch burn feel like crawling under my skin these things pop out of my skin from the sores. I cannot get the doctors to believe me I am at a loss I cry out in anger and fear and to god to please help me these things are in my mouth eyes arms back private area I am in a slow hell and have no one to talk to about them I have seen them crawl they look like a slender piece of black wood with one piece going across and they walk sideways. It is horrid the pain and depression from this I am so tired all the time and dont know how much longer I can handle this I am afraid I can't get no doctor to say I have anything besides that I am crazy. Does anyone out here know of a doctor that knows about morgellons I got to find one so I can let the local doctor know I am not crazy.

Don't waste your time with doctors.....most are in the dark about this and even the few who believe don't have a cure. Ted's advice is a godsend. I suffered with this plague for months and felt I was going crazy, itching, rashes, losing my hair, not sleeping with the pins and needles and crawling. It takes a while but can be conquered. All clothes and bedding must be soaked in hot water with borax, dryer cycle on several times on high. Put 1/8 teaspoon on BORAX, Team Mule 20 in a bottle of water and sip it....do this for four days then have a bath with a cup of borax in it....your tub will be full of black specks. If they are on your scalp, order tetrasodium EDTA online and mix with water in a spray bottle.....soak scalp before bathing. More and more public places are infested with this parasite so if you are one of the unlucky ones that attract them , you will have to continue this protocol every time you get reinfested. I can be in a room and feel the crawling while others seem unaffected....not sure why. My poor cat got it too, .....I added a splash of my borax water to his drinking water and he was cured too. It will improve quickly....help everyone and every animal you know....they multiply fast and don't die for ages. I had clothes bagged for a year and when I opened them, I got reinfested! Extreme cold and extreme heat kill them, so put things out over the winter and scald clothes and bedding with hot water. God bless.

University of Oklahoma actually does research on morgellons.

I live in okc, and have been suffering for years. I have been emptied of my savings by doctors and particularly dermatologists. I have given up on Western medicine and dermatologists and doctors. I was told at many health food stores that told most people with morgellons/fiber disease leave Oklahoma for lack of treatment. This seems odd considering Dr. Wymore is right here is Stillwater, Oklahoma and has done work concerning morgellons and also has sent fibers to the Tulsa Crime Lab. Supposedly, if you register on the OSU extension site, they can refer you to a doctor, but it never worked for me. It is frightening, I know that no help seems available. Go to the health food store. Start simple with alfalfa tabs. Use Ted's cure which is putting borax and antibacterial soap on yourself and following with glycerin. Drink apple cider vinegar in water and baking soda in water. I used figs, pumpkin seed oil, and other naturals to help get worms out of body. I am trying to heal by myself as others have been forced to do also. You can write me if you wish. God bless you...

Melabot- like you I am in OKC & registered with OSU in hopes of anything really, but didn't even receive a conformation email so I don't know, is it still active I wonder? I've wanted to attempt & contact Dr. Wyman, but you know he has been inundated with request for help or suggestions since he was featured on ABC back in '08.

Since your post was so recent I thought I would reach out & see if you'd like to speak through email? I literally have shut myself off from the world from sheer embarrassment from the lesions on my face. The toll this has taken on my life is unbelievable. I'm 34 & what little I had is gone, I'm sure you completely know where I'm coming from. Anyways I would love to just talk to someone here in Oklahoma or anywhere I'm certainly not picky if you'd like. Email me at kdubbn(at)gmail.com. I don't know how long you've had this or to the severity of yours but I identified with this in Nov 2013 & have just as many if not more questions now than ever...& no one to ask them to.

Anyways would like to chat with some others especially when it comes to actually healing the lesions that are on my face. I feel I try so many different things that even though at the moment I feel like something is working I honestly don't know which "cure" it is that is working but to scared to stop any of them cause I just want to at least not feel so mutilated when I look in the mirror every day. Ugh, now I'm tearing up.

Can I ask, do you or anyone reading this, have major digestive/GI issues from this? I don't know if it is directly from the Morgs or if it is something I've done to myself with all the various treatments I've tried, but it's yet another thing that is completely out of synch in my life, & I do mean completely screwed up. Also has anyone (& I realize this might be a stretch) ever been on Accutane? I randomly will read about this with others who have Morgs & I was just curious on anyone & their thoughts since at one time was pulled from the shelves for really screwing people up. I suffered some crazy side effects back then but not once I stopped taking it. Who knows, I mean honestly I have so many personal theories about this I make myself question my own sanity, daily at times.

Email me if you'd like. Would love to chat with someone about this hell we're in. Sorry for the long ass post. Good luck to everyone. Cheers---- The DubbOkc

"That's a bitch'n case of evil you've got there." –said a physician to his first Morgellons patient

Hi Dubbokc,

I have been wondering about the role of Retin A and roaccutane internal and topical medications too. Have a look for kandy griffin + morgellons is not a disease article which goes into great detail about nanotechnology and the role of micelles or nanoworms in medications and cosmetics which are mostly used by women in their late 30s, 40s and 50's - also the largest group represented in morgellons cases. I believe that morgellons is a multi-faceted systemic disease which attacks individual's weakest point so symptoms vary from person to person. I also believe what ted from Bangkok says about there being different strains of the genetically engineered 'silent super bug'. many cosmetics and anti ageing creams use bacteria, moulds, fungi or viruses to achieve various goals including the manufacture of 'synthetic DNA' or more accurately (I believe) RNA.

I do warn you though, if you really get into this topic it will change the way you perceive the world and how much er trust you should or should not give to pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies. Also when shopping for toiletries, cosmetics, hair dyes, moisturisers etc be prepared to have to take lists of chemicals and ingredients to avoid. A lot of these companies are quite sneaky with their labelling too, as some ingredients are known by different names in different countries or are listed under mysterious trademarked names which they have invented...to make them sound fabulously high tech (we read effective) and often to mask/hide the true chemical cocktail of ingredients under one proprietary name.

I would be interested to find out how many other morgellons sufferers do have a history of internal or topical retin A aka accutane, roaccutane etc

Kandy griffin is a nurse who has spent many years researching medical patents and nanotechnology...volunteering her information rather than trying to profiteer from it.

Good luck with your journey towards better health and please let me know what you think. All the best

Well, I know the exact time I first had symptoms was after loosing a lot of weight and regaining it fast, it started with a small weep on one forearm. I was working a job and maintenance came in and changed out my chair for some unknown reason, My mother was working as a nurse in a hospital at this time as well, I had been doing a colon cleanse at this time to. When it really broke out on me was when I was cutting grass one day sweating, it only got on my outside forearms. So what is it and where did it come from?

It could have come from my mother, because I used to lay across her bed when she was getting ready for work at her vanity, she had a bout with them as well, but they left her alone not to long after she had spots on her. She also was doing a colon cleanse, same as mine. I know lots of nurses have these things, so I believe that it is some kind of Bacterial infection or they live in your gut and get in the blood stream from leaky gut and exit the skin.

The problem is know one knows for sure what it is, so it is best to treat it as a Fungus, Bacterial, Parasite, Insect Vector, Virus. Also we need to dissolve any shells they may hide in whether they be plastic, calcium, or any other coating.

L-Lysine is one on the best anti viral along with Zinc. Borax and baking soda for fungus. Garlic and probiotics for bacterial. Orange oil to dissolve plastic, kill insect vectors, help kill of parasites. MSM to dissolve calcium shells. Treat external as well as internal. Some people highly recommend a zapper as well. Treat it for all of this and let me know how it works.

If they do come from the leaky gut, we may have to fix the leaky gut to prevent further breakouts. The colon cleanses I have read can sometime rubbed tiny holes in the gut ( From the sandpaper like fiber that they say scrubs your colon clean. Also candida can cause leaky gut, Fix the gut maybe fix the problem.

I had been using retin a on face for years for acne. Also polycystic ovarian syndrome.....I think there is a connection with hormonal imbalance. Interesting that after using borax internally and externally, my periods became normal at age 44. I've also heard that low hydrochloric acid is the cause so I'm trying to increase mine.....yet they definitely go dormant when I drink baking soda so that contradiction confuses me. Borax has kept me sane every time I get reinvested. Let's hope they don't outsmart it!

Hello, I was just wondering if you have found a cure for what you are going through? I have also experienced the same thing. I have been on a protocol for 14 months and I am seeing results. I do have a dr here that does semi believe what is going on with me.

Please stay away from the doctors. ALL of them are in on it. EVERY KNOWN AN UNKNOWN VIRUS BACTERIA INFECTION LIKE CANCERS TO ANYTHING THAT CAUSES THE BODY TO BE SICK IS ONLY ONE THING! What is the ONLY thing that can survive AND thrive in absolute pitch darkness and saturated moist acidic environment?? Fungi. Mold. Simple botonal and the Truth is the Dr are either EVIL or ignorant. Save yourself further soul wrenching please research and utilize every known solutions to remedy anything fungal. Bc foot fungus is exactly same as pink eye as exactly same as Chlamydia as diaper rash as divirticulitis as.... You follow?? KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BE OK JUST GET OUT OF THE PITY PART AND INTO REAL RESEARCH AND ACTIONS OF YOUR RESULTS!! YOU ARE GOING TO BE OK PLEASE KNOW THAT. I am n yer boat too so if I can say this then know you can live this an win!

I am just beginning my external routine. If I miss an ingredient for baths my lesions reopen. Recently I discovered Epson salt and Dr. Clay and ginger bath soak and it made a big improvement. Unfortunately it now takes 40 mins to shower. And end shower and baths on cold water to close the pores.

I'm so tired of this. My family thinks I'm losing it, my Dr n ER dr were no help. Hadn't heard of morgellons at the time, but couldn't understand their refusal to examine the sores and telling me it's in head and stress triggeed it. Over 1 and half years with sores all over my face. In hindsight started yeas ago but less extreme. ER Dr wouldn't come and peaked over at it from a distance. I went in with nerve damage with numbness and he labeled me without coming neat me.

Coconut oil is great to, both for cooking and cleaning.

Do you have any more suggestions? I used lemo on my scalp and my eye swelled up. Finally going down but it hurt! About to start an internal detox

Did you take any medications or sipplements. Im going on a year and a half with this, cant sleep, barely eat and it is starting to show a lot. I was able to buy Ivermectin and Albandozole but I am concerned that it will cause more harm than it is worth.

Eat as clean as possible, avoid alfalfa or anything that makes your hair grow bc it will grow with it. Soak all produce in purified water with a pinch of activated charcoal and some vinegar and then rinse. It's a bacteria that behaves as a virus, with fruiting fungal bodies that will alter and attach to your dna, it knows how to hide and to fool your body into thinking it is part of YOU, which is actually kinda is unfortunately. Take only organic supplements from a reputable source bc a certification by the USDA isn't worth the ink in the stamp. Avoid supplements and vitamins with magnesium sterate. Up your vitamin C, do some vitamin C flushes and also some salt flushes. Detox Dudes and Earther Academy are some sites to look up, they offer excellent advice. To understand the depth of what is being dealt with search Harald Kautz Vella and watch some of his videos/talks. Eggplant, limes, ginger, parsley, cilantro, thyme, oregano, tulsi (holy basil), cloves, zuchini, cucumbers and arugula are all great foods to start consuming. Avoid quinoa bc it often has mold. Get your b vitamins from nutritional yeast, take flaxseed oil twice daily and aslo apply it to your skin. Sea salt only, himalayan salt is mostly not really that. Once a week or so take a tsp of food grade activated charcoal with another of bentonite clay and a splash of lemon, being sure not to mix it in a metal cup or with a metal spoon. Drink it in water or juice if you hate the taste and follow with A LOT of water. Now foods makes an excellent Silica complex. Also get: Dr. Christopher's Bone and Tissue Formula, Ionic Zinc by Trace Minerals, Nature's Answer Olive Leaf (liquid), Nature's Answer Liver Support, Coptis, Spilanthes, Dragon's Blood, Yarrow, Neutralizing Cordial, Butternut Extract, Planetary Naturals Triphala, Organic India Neem, Manjistha Powder (blood cleanser, also known as Indian Madder Root), Breathe Right by Organic India and Black Seed Oil. Whenever possible get the liquid forms of the supplements. Ivermectin doesn't work and will only tax your already taxed liver. Some good brands you can trust are Herb Pharm, Secrets of The Tribe, Dr. Christophers, Organic India, Samsara Herbs, Trace Minerals, The Synergy Company (great food based multi vitamins and vitamin C), Nature's Answer and some Now and Doctor's Choice products. Take the tinctures on and off, mix it up so that it doesn't figure out how to hide from it. To break up the biofilms you will need Grapefruit Seed Extract and an enzyme supplement called Restore-Activ. To stop the bacteria from communicating (it does this audibly, many ppl get an ear ringing) take organic lemongrass oil or lemongrass tea. For your home environment clean everything daily, it gets tiring but otherwise you'll reinfect yourself. Use Borax (keep away from cats) in a spray bottle with salt and clean water to spray all linens and furniture before cleaning. Clean with garlic essential oil and soapy water, diffuse cedarwood oil and spray ceilings and wipe down walls with it. Around outside hose down windows and walkways after it rains. Sweep walkways into home daily, put diamateous earth around the yard and home. Use an ozone generator bc it kills it. One room at a time, with the room sealed off, as much as possible. Get an allergen vacuum so nothing escapes and some quality air purifiers. Surround Air 8400 is a great one for less than 100. Switch back to incandescent bulbs bc the new energy saver bulbs don't save anything but they do deplete your vitamin D which is essential for healing. Consider getting a vitamin d3 spray and spray under your tongue 3x twice a day. Switch internet from wifi to wired and use bridge mode, shut off your router's hotspot bc they all have them. Swiffers will be your best friend, the wet pads are great. Change bedding constantly and use a lint roller on the linens in between washings. For detergent use Borax, baking soda, distilled vinegar and niouli oil. For dryer sheets (static is a trigger for sure) use Seventh Generation or something like that. No chemicals or hormone disrupters. Get a shower head filter. Spray all faucets and drains with the borax mixture, clean all vents, get heating vent filters (3 bucks at Home Depot) and one for the air return. Get plenty of sleep, stay as active as possible, get an anti static lotion for skin and use coconut oil and also an arnica cream. For homeopathic remedies: cina, hyland's cell salts (#10, #4 and #5 are essential). Coffee enemas and water enemas. Carrot juice and hyssop tea are good. Clean your vehicle thoroughly like you would your home. And get an rf safe case for your mobile phone.

Best of luck. Keep your spirit high. Be love.

Hi im responding to your comment where you say one of 5 dermatologists almost sent you to Duke....have you been to any further appts with this Dr to tell them of your success on your own? So they can actually help there from your help? I just hope more Drs start recognizing this....I just realized what I have through research and am appalled we've been left to fend for ourselves and we have. I've been suffering for a long time. But its gotten me to a non functional state. So I've been researching for months what could be going on with my body. I wished I wouldn't have pushed this possibility away months ago bc I just wasn't realizing I did on fact have these fibers in my skin. But its true I did and do. And I'm close to Duke so I knew you're in my area and was curious.thx so much for sharing...it gives me hope.

I have lived with this for many years and just can't get rid of it. Thank you for posting it. I am glad to see people are coming forward.

In this post on morgellons, etc. the same mistake, namely that MMS is toxic. Robt. Henry in his post has corrected that definitely as he has worked in the paper industry and my take is that bad research makes these statements. One only needs to visit Jim Humble's website and find out the proper aspect of MMS in that it has saved millions of lives and made malaria curable overnight.

Perusing that lengthy post on morgellons, there must be cures that are affordable.

Namaste, Om

Yes, I read that as well, but this person seems to have put a lot of research into this. One thing is for sure, is that with natural medicines you will always find people who agree to disagree. It not much different than religion in that aspect. We all want to be healthy naturally and the church going people want to know how they will be saved, and everybody has a different views on how to achieve that.

I still have the question though, Could Lyme and Morgellons be a form of advanced candida. My reason for this is somewhere here on EC a guy had black specks rubbing out of his body ( Morgellons? ) But went to have blood work done and they told him he had Candida. The symptoms are very close to being the same with these three disease's. Also I have watch a video on the net ( and yes they are selling a probiotic ) about the advanced form of Candida and they call it the Great American Parasite and actually show a picture of a Nano looking Flea. And this video is about stopping candida and they call this fungus a parasite.

I have done lots of stuff found here on EC. Including Borax, PH buffers, cayenne. And lots of stuff has helped me get a lot better skin wise than I had been. My diet is my weak point. I try so hard to correct it and I can honestly say that correcting my diet is the hardest thing I have ever tried doing. Maybe because I am ate up with candida and it is like trying to get off a drug or something, making me have cravings, incredibly HUNGRY, not just for sweets but anything. I have quit drinking alcohol, after drinking quite a lot in my life time both beer and liquor. No problems quitting that. Cold turkey no problem, but food so hard to change. I literally have mood and energy swings with what I eat.

I thought I had got rid of these little black specks coming out of my arms after taking Cayenne for some time. They went away for a quite while. Then I started a diet, Yea go figure, I was doing smoothies and adding Coconut oil for additional weight loss and after about two weeks of consuming about a TBS of the oil a day. My arms started itching like they did the first time I thought I had caught these mite or parasites ( cutting grass ) I was sweating that day and assumed it was the grass itching me. Maybe this is when I got the fungus or mite/parasite or maybe it was candida coming out of my pores onto my skin ( like how athletes foot attacks just between the toes and not the whole foot in some cases). When I rubbed my arms with any kind of lotion or oil the black specks will come out. That stopped for several months and I thought the cayenne had cured me, but the coconut oil seemed to drive them back out onto my arms.

I am taking a probiotic, trying to make fermented foods (this can be a challenge). Trying to make sauerkraut as of today and have made some bubbly coconut water kefir. Not sure I did it right, but it did seem to ferment and I have been drinking it without getting sick. I take baking soda as well.

I am far from an expert and I am trying to learn as much as I can. So much info out here now, it gets confusing.

Thanks for reading my book LOL. Rebel

I believe it is candida related as well because when I first started seeing the signs and symptoms I was treating mouth thrush and a BV with probiotics and had signs of parasites, then everything went haywire.

I know copper helps and maybe borax. I hope you recover quickly; I know it's an intense battle. I met someone I prayed for that had it and when I went home, I saw it in the air around me. It's not hard to catch. Another lady said it is in wood and concrete foundations and I just pray whoever set it into action that it all gets collected and deposited on them so they can get the full effect of what they sowed, like covid. I Pray that for chemtrails too. RETURN TO SENDER.

Morgellons Epidemiology of filamentous Biofilm Bacteria (morgellons-research.org)

I have had these for 7 months, I took Teds from Thailand advice. Read all of his answers. Its all very helpful. I use packing tape on my legs from the knee down and it takes them off so I use a lot of it but they come back fast. I started to notice what was on the tape, you will be surprised when you see what is on the tape. I have seen the images of morgellons, they are a spider looking thing with lots of legs and they come in all sizes. Its when they stack on top of each other that causes all the problems. I work hard to keep them off. I don't have any lesions. Remember they are fairly smart.

Ted's recipe for the spray is 10% Tetra sodium EDTA and 10% Ammonium Chloride with 90% water. Shack and spray everywhere and on you body. I would like to hear from someone that tries the packing tape to see the images. I know this sounds strange but remember I don't have the lesions.

Hi . What's in the scrub that you make? I've been using it on the carpets before I vacuum and furniture . I considered adding it to the bath which is what I do with borax usually . Struggling lately

Yes Morgellons sprayed

I mix the EDTA with borax and water. The Ted recipe. I wash myself with a wash cloth with this solution. Then I rinse off in the shower. I have shaved my head. After I've dried I apply lotion ( eucerin) then peppermint essential oil. Let that soak in and dress. In the night if I am awakened due to itching I apply eucerin and go back to sleep.

I seem to break out in little red bumps that itch and have a tiny white head and its usually association with me getting over heated. I. Recently got bv which brought this on again . but this time it turned to major sores. I cleansed. And I had a magnifying glass with a light. I wanted to inspect my scabs after. I noticed a few seconds with this light or heat little white wax would come out .as soon as it did id look under the magnifyinge glass at it and it appeared not to be moving so I thought it was clogged pores. They come out thru hair follicles . I was tripping out so I checked other parts of my body and everywhere I put the light my skin would sparkle like sweat and these little white things came out. But it does feel like so.ething is crawling all thru my skin and some do look different in color I just thought it was dirty pores ftom the yeast infection . So I suggest taking a magnifying glass to your doctor like im going to do. But they come out of the skin within seconds of the light or heat from light. So may be heat related thats what causes my normal rashes.

How are you now? I have done DE but not long enough

How are you now? Still trying to combat this.

I don't understand the full spectrum of morgellon cases but when I did develop the problem, I got rid of it easy.

Morgellons seems to be a warm climate parasite that burrows under the skin. I think I got mine from swimming. I could feel the tingling especially on my forehead. parasites seem to want to migrate there for some reason. Lot of people with morgellons have reported similar. I even had a thicket like thing growing out of my forehead. they are skin parasites from most of the reports I have so they live in the skin.

I just wiped a lemon across forehead for a couple days then no more tingling.

The thing growing out of my forehead, I got rid of by applying dmso and citric acid a couple times. it fell off within 2 days. the citric acid wouldn't penetrate with the dmso.

Haven't had anymore problems.

I'm a strong believer in what your saying about baking soda, also the silver. I'm going to start the baking soda today as well as collodial silver, ACV, probiotics, vitamin C, and eliminating gluten and sugar. Will post results. Definitely believe it's systemic and some of the qualities of this are bizarre such as the high temperatures this thing survives, and even thrives at. Lots of baths help! Also after you bathe if you get out and towel dry then apply lotion you will get an abundance of fiber activity and will have to get back in the shower! To me this us a good sign!!! Together we can beat this!!

Your personal advice gives me some hope. thank you.

Everything u said is probably true but I have seen and watched this organism and try to completely cure it. If u don't get sun rays or tanning bed rays extensively you will not know if it's gone. I have battled this weird crap for 40 years. I have studied it in all forms and researched it until I give up until I break out again. The energy the organism has is searching for moisture and a budding effect in production. For survival it will host on plants or animals. First I believed it was half plant, half animal. Mites, also but I do think in some way it has something to do with flies? Or flies like to eat it? I really want to know before I die because the disease is baffling and has caused me torment through the years. And I can't even guess at the money value!

I understand that your post is older but I had a question regarding the baking soda regimen which is "Can I take more than (1) heaping tablespoon of baking soda during a day or is that too excessive health wise?

Hi Lana. Are still posting to this site? I have also had Morgellons for 40+ years and would love to chat with someone who can relate to this illness.

I would tell everyone to be careful with Cloves, Cinnamon, and Wormwood as these three contain a toxic chemical called Eugenol and Morgellon victims may be allergic to and not even know it!

This was one of the few chemicals Dr Omar Amin's patients were allergic to when he diagnosed them with Neuro-Cutaneous Syndrome (aka Morgellons).

I used to take this stuff but stopped immediately. I rather not risk it. Dr Amin states that if one takes things that contain this chemical (or others on his list), it could very possibly delay the healing process.

He proves this condition is not caused by Parasites. Please read his publications; He has cured many who had extremely high levels of mercury and allergies to certain chemicals that then brought up the common symptoms of Morgellons (including fibers)

Hi all, I just wanted to jump in here. I first read about this condition last year. I don't have it but I believe what you are going through is real. There is a website with a protocol from a person who cured it with help from a good Dr: http://howicuredmorgellons.com/melsprotocol/

As I said I didn't try this because I'm not a sufferer but the protocol makes sense to me because it involves both killing the viruses, fungi, parasites and improving your immune system.

Wishing you all well soon!

For anyone that has a form of fungus in their body.... Use Oregano oil. I like the oil capsules. It is considered the only thing that will get rid of fungus in the body.

I believe that it is one of many types of biofilms of ubiquitous bacteria that has been engineered by oil companies by altering the bacteria's genome so as to easily consume oil and solvents spilled in the environment. Oil company spokes-people however refrain from calling these organisms "unpredictable, chemical-eating monster bacteria" and refer to them as merely "natural dispersants for bio-remediation.") Whether any of the original mutated forms survived naturally after being used or tested on chemical spills as early as the 1970's, many hybrids actually have U.S. patents and continue to be engineered while simultaneously evolving and directly transferring genes to their offspring eventually and unethically creating something that is more harmful than it is useful. Keratinocytes, especially at the hair root matrix can be modified in any number of ways so that what once grew into hair, now grows into mutant insect-like things that fly away from the human scalp. Very few researches actually understand that as organisms grow, cells begin to lyse and release eDNA and vesicle membranes in a chain reaction cloning process. This runaway gene transfer may be like the HIV virus whereby AIDS can be delayed with various treatment agents and strategies. However, once infected, you're unfortunately infected for life unless your immune system suddenly recognizes the biofilm material as something menacing that creates unwanted and harmful genetic changes to basal skin cells and keratinocytes and a strong immune responses then ensue in order to try to reverse the infection which is now not an infection but rather your genetically modified self.
