If your the type who hears about a new condition and then thinks OMG! Thats Me! Do not read this thread
My ex used to complain of this. He picked at his skin all the time, went to doctors, kept making me look at his 'spots' and I could never see anything. He couldnt believe I couldnt see the 'tiny hairs'. I thought he was nuts (so did the doctors). Maybe it was real.
I'm still undecided whether I should tell him there might be something to it (its cleared up now). Hes been being pretty nice the last few months. Something I will tuck away and torment him with if he misbehaves again.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced today that it is launching a study to learn about an unexplained condition that causes people to feel as if they have foreign substances growing from their bodies.

And from a different site:
In summary:
There were many similarities in fibers from all four individuals, both in size and color. All samples showed bright aqua autofluorescence using the fluorescent microscope, with red and black non fluorescent fibers. The fibers collected from these four individuals from different counties of the San Francisco Bay Area are so similar to each other that the causative agent may be epidemiologically the same.
