I believe an article about a “fibers emerging from the skin” disease was posted on FR about six months ago. There were pictures; pretty bizarre.

Interesting that this ailment is finally reaching prime time. It has been discussed on Coast for years.

Yeah. Coast to Coast is a goldmine!

People laugh at the Rense web site, but this news has been there for at least three years.

Yes, and we are getting better at sifting the ore for diamonds. If you are going to tell a story, Coast has very high standards. Sometimes the hook comes out early. :)

“Florida, Texas and California” Anyone see a common theme here?

Yes I do.

Border states, lots of immigration, warm climate.

Check out the link above, based on the photos taken, it very well could be a tiny parasite

Been a lot of young children ‘diagnosed’ with it too. Probably not drug-related. It often appears that little fibers or threads are coming right out of the skin. First time I read about it, a year or so ago, my first thought was some kind of environmental allergen.

Thanks for posting this. I have a friend that told me for the past three months she sometimes (3 or 4 times/day) has the feeling like thousands of ants are crawing on her right shoulder and right side of her neck. When she rubs her shoulder and neck, the feeling goes away.

She have never done drugs or liquor in her life. She has been diagnosed with TN which is very painful on the left side of her face from time to time. She has had the TN for at least 10 years. I don’t know if there is a connection.

I have never heard of anything like this before.

Well, about time! How long did it take for the sufferers of Lyme Disease to finally get told something other than that ‘it is their imagination’, or somesuch. All it takes is some nitwit doctor to write a ‘diagnosis’ of hysterical whatever, and no subsequent physician will take the patient seriously.

Thanks for posting this.

You're quite welcome.

I'll be sure to post another article of general interest just as soon as I'm ready for some [deleted] to personally attack me for the opinions and/or facts stated by the author of the article...

Sounds similar to some of the sensations I get from Peripheral Neuropathy.
