Think you've got colored wires growing from your skin? You're not wrong. Maybe.This reminds me of dreams I used to have of grass growing out of my skin, some sort of airborne parasitic grass plague, or the one with the 'vampire' that looked like an alligator and when it bit you, you started growing teeth from the edges of your mouth around the back

Body alienation fears are the worst. It's like, you know about your body, and you know what it's doing, and you're okay with it, and then all of a sudden IT'S SPROUTING A THIRD ARM OMG OMG GET IT OFF!!!

oh, yay. the last time i checked in on morgellons, they had no fucking clue what it was. one patient actually killed himself over it--people were saying he was nuts. it's like, "FINE, THEN."

i'm assuming that photo at the top isn't of the actual fibers. i wish!

Yeah... I'm constantly impressed by the ability of the medical community to ignore people's clearly debilitating physical ailments and just call them all crazy. GET OVER IT, PEOPLE. Just because you can't explain it doesn't mean it don't exist.

But yeah, that's a photo from the Washington Post article linked from Jezebel. It's somebody's fibers!
