The name “Morgellons disease” was thus created in 2002, as a practical “place holder” because of its dermal similarity to The Morgellons described by Browne in particular (Browne’s The Morgellons label evolved further over three centuries into the words, “Masquelon”, then Masclous dicti and Les Crinons, shifting to Comedones after 1800). The new label also provided an alternative to differentiate a clearly, non-delusional child from many decades of clinical
use of the label Delusions of Parasitosis.

This first set of actions would eventually raise one of the major philosophical questions of modern medicine: Does the practice of “evidence-based medicine” come from peer-reviewed literature, or from the actual patient?
Information fromwhat was later to become the Morgellons Research Foundation (MRF) website initially provided a broader look at the believed Morgellons disease symptoms by allowing patient registrants to record their symptoms and signs. Clearly,most of the 21st century patients did not fit the descriptions from 1500-1800.

The MRF website provided a glimpse of the current global prevalence of those considering they are affected by this phenomenon. On January 2009, there are 13,000+ family registrants from all U.S. states and from 15 other countries.
