Just saw this on TV and it's scary stuff although not deadly. Must drive people to insanity.

i posted about this a while ago, seems to be a lot of controversy about whether it is a real disease or not.

Don't ever want anything that gives me the sensation of insects crawling under my skin, can understand why it drives people to insanity.

I can't imagine the suffering people with this illness has, regardless of what the source of the physical ailment is.

My very first thought when seeing a wound with fibres, was: "Oh my gosh, who the hell let a medical nanite out of a lab !"

In January 2008 it was reported that CDC was enlisting the aid of the U.S. Armed Forces Institute of Pathology and the American Academy of Dermatology "to conduct 'immediate' and 'rigorous' research."
