Perhaps we should petition to have the disease renamed "Morgellon's Basilisk".

I feel like if people read an article about how it's all in their head, it might get ahead of the fake info about it being real. Once people think it's real, it's hard to convince them it's not.

I can't be the only one who started itching while reading it.

And it's an unfortunate fact that scratching causes itching, and knowing that, I didn't not scratch the psychosomatic itches, but if I had not I could have given myself real itches.

This article got me scared over the possibility that I might go nut and get those itches. It's disturbing how easily those things can get to you. Even with the blatant conspiracy theories and references to aliens in the middle. I'm grateful that my brain is not an asshole and listens to reason sometimes, wouldn't want to end up with phantom itches.

My sympathy goes to those people.

We've been inoculated with skepticism about the origin of our itches.
