## Resource

In this episode, Crystal Clear responds to the most recent major English-language feature article on Morgellons disease — “For a Rare Disorder, Is Language Complicating Care?” published February 24, 2026, by Undark. Crystal summons her inner Karen and things get ridiculous. The new Morgellons article proposes that renaming delusional parasitosis could improve patient compliance with antipsychotic treatment. The problem: there has never been a single randomized controlled trial evaluating any treatment for Morgellons. Not antipsychotics. Not antibiotics. Not anything. We break down what the article gets wrong, what it deliberately omits, and why linguistic rebranding is not a substitute for science. Plus: a new morgie message from a listener in Milwaukee.
