I think it is probably some OCD manifestation. A new evolution of the germaphobes. If people really knew how many beneficial parasites live on our body, they would freak out (if they don't have a firm grasp of reality.) You are literally covered with beneficial parasites, crawling all over you, eating dead skin. They are a part of you.
Just for fun, here are some images of what is on us all right now. Just imagine, billions of these crawling all over you.

One of my colleagues does laser tattoo removal in his office and has tried the laser on Morgellons lesions. I asked him if it works and he just shrugged, “At $100 per treatment, why should I care?”

A home for fleas, a hive for the buzzin’ bees
A nest for birds...

Gliddy glub gloopy; Nibby nabby noopy
La la la lo lo...
