Three nights ago I noticed that after washing my hands they felt really sticky, almost like when you use the last paper towel on the roll and you get that glue residue on your hands. However, it wasn't the last paper towel so I figured maybe the liquid soap was really old and doing funky things so I rewashed with dish soap and again grabbed a paper towel. Once again, my hands got sticky as I dried them off. Thinking now that there was something wrong with these paper towels, I washed again and this time dried with a hand towel only to yet again find my hands sticky as they dried off. The stickiness only lasts 30-60 seconds, until the skin completely dries, but during that in-between time of soaking wet and totally dry they feel very tacky to the touch and my fingers will actually stick to each other.
The next day when I took a shower I noticed that the water was beading up on the skin on my arms. Sure enough, when I dried off afterwards I found that all of my skin is tacky to the thouch until it is completely air dried.
Today I shaved my legs and my skin felt almost like it had a layer of wax on it that kept catching the razor. The skin on my hands seems to be getting more sticky when they get wet. Water continues to bead on my skin when it gets wet. I asked my children if they can feel that my skin is sticky to the touch and they said yes.
This is affecting all of my skin now, including my face. I always put a moisturizer on my face after washing and it does not feel like my skin is absorbing it now, it just feels heavy and greasy since the lotion just sits there on top. I also tried putting lotion on my hands and it was not absorbed at all, just left my hands feeling very slimy and greasy so I wiped it off.
Has anyone ever experienced anything like this or have any suggestions for what might be causing it? Thanks for any held you can give.

Thanks for the response. I will watch and hope I don't see any response - meaning you are permanently healed.

Interesting. Could you please, please, please keep me posted as to whether you remain no longer burdened by the sticky skin and all that goes with it? If you remain free of it, then I'll try to build the courage to ask my doctor to prescribe the antibiotic you took.

Hi all - I am responding to the request for help in finding information on the Charles Holman website.

Thank you for posting that Pam. There is another study called Close association of morgellons and myasis. Myasis is a secondary infection resulting from morgellons and loss of good skin flora. The skin mises its ability to fight off invaders and as a result sometimes invaders can penetrate. In a myasis infection the invaders are the result of fly larVea and a creeping myasis infection. It is a horrific and tormenting expereince and very difficult to eradicate because docs do not know how to treat because they are not familiar with it. Most who were affected had to study and treat themselves. I was one. I come to these boards to look out for people like all here. Do not allow yourselves to get to this point. if u are feeling fatigued, stressed, and have other issues w your gut, your body is screaming for help. I would suggest seeing a DO (doctor of osteopathy) because these docs understand conventional medicine, but also nutrition and important supplements to take like ascorbic acid, alpha lipoic acid, glutamine in addition to antibiotics. Good luck.

Thank you very much for your info. In addition to the supplements you mentioned, would a parasite cleanse be helpful if there are fly larvae involved - or have I misunderstood?

My suggestion to u if u think u have a secondary Myasis infection is to join a support group and run your symptoms by others. It is hard for me to give suggestions because I don't know your full story. However I can talk from personal experience and what I believe to be true, and u can decipher and use your own judgement. I believe ER all as humans have a small amount of things that don't belong in our bodies and some do have oarasites. Our bodies can keep these infections down, but when M hits, the immunity crashes and enables things that don't belong to take over. I did do cleanses for many things like anti:
November 28, 2014 - 4:13pmFungal, helminth, parasite, bacteria, virus. Please be careful when choosimg herbs because they do work synergistically with your body. I would highly recommend a medical herbalist. When I did take my supplements and herbs I always read studies rather than depend on blogs that have cited information so i knew proper dosages etc. For itch skin I used Mule Team Laundry soap which is borax. Borax is an old remedy for sticky skin, however it cannot be used every day. I used im bath water. I also took many salt water baths with apple cider vinegar, and I believe these things broke up this film on my skin. After bath I used organic coconut oil with lavender. Shea butter or other oils too. Please know that I am not offering medical advice as I am not a doctor. Just sharimg my experiences and beliefs for Uou to entertain. Good luck

Thank you for responding with your information. I did look at the links, but saw no reference to "sticky skin". All very interesting, and glad they're no longer calling people with MD crazy. Don't think this sticky skin is MD. There are no sores in my case. Wondering if I'm reacting to whatever is being used in the chem-trails that are being sprayed by jets across the country.

One more thing to add here. I had sticky skin acid several years before m surfaced . People who have m do not all get symptoms in same order. Also some have open sore lesions that are very painful, while others have lesions that look similar to bed bug or mosquito bites. Not everyone gets itchy skin either but most have sticky skin and all get fibers and Sandy specks. this is an auto immune response and each person is different. Some people are highly sensitive and their body recognizes what does not belong and they feel super itchy. By the way, although all of those studies are legit, the mayo clinic and other major hospitals are still posting DOP (delusions of parasitosis). Can u imagine the torment people are experiencing by their own medical community? I wS fortunate to have a doctor who understood. There are many people who were thrown in psyche wards when they have a legit infection. I believe that genetically modified food is wreaking havoc by destroying our gut flora that eventually affects skin. Organic food made a big difference in my life . Best of luck. There are tons of morgellons support groups online if u want to gain further understanding

Spell correct- remove word acid from sticky skin. Apple cider vinegar and salt baths helped soften it so it can be removed.
