Creepy

OK, this is creepy. It's called Morgellons.

Imagine sweating beads of a black, tar-like substance; pulling colored threadlike strings from sores all over your body; or feeling like your skin is crawling with bugs. Worst of all, not only are doctors unsure of what it is, many tell patients they're making it all up.

Sufferer Annette Riaubia said, "They start out like little pimples or something and you scratch them, and they bust open and they spring forth these weird fibers like a strand of a piece of cotton."

That is just too fucking weird. Fibers growing out of your body...It's like something out of an H.P. Lovecraft story - the impending rise of Cthulhu. And most doctors think it's all a delusion. I think a movie needs to be made of this and David Cronenberg is just the guy to do it.

You have to admit that it's more than a little ironic that L.A. is the hot bed of Morgellons activity.
