That was the year that Mary Leitao founded the Morgellons Research Foundation. Her young son had complained of feeling "bugs" on his skin, and Leitao discovered multicolored fibers in a sore on her son's lip. Unable to find any explanation for her son's symptoms, Leitao founded the Foundation to encourage and fund medical research. More people with similar skin symptoms began to register at the Foundation's Web site, and soon the condition was receiving national news coverage. Leitao named the condition Morgellons after a condition described by a 17th-century doctor: he had treated a young boy with "black hairs" coming from a lesion on his skin. Leitao does not claim that this case and what is now known as Morgellons are related, and aims to change the name once more is known about the syndrome.
