10 Unexplained Paranormal Events That Changed History
4. Morgellons, The Disease The CDC Don't Recognise
A significant amount of zombie stories films, books, games, whatever begin with a slowly creeping sense that something is wrong. News reports of an infectious disease nobody has ever seen before, most frequently accompanied by a member of the US Centre for Disease Control talking about how they've never seen anything like it.
That is happening right now. Sort of. The CDC have gone on record saying that they don't know whether a condition called Morgellons Disease, which results in painful sores appearing all over the sufferer's body, represents a new disease, whether it's contagious, and categorised it as an Unexplained Dermopathy.
There's a change in history, occurring alongside a change in many poor buggers' physiologies. Some think Morgellons are a hysterical delusion, that people imagine they're ill, but the boils all over the body as yet unexplained by the friggin' CDC are stark proof. A horrifying illness that nobody really understands. Find your local mall ASAFP.
