Morgellons
A condition in which a person perceives parasites are spontaneously coming out from his or her eyes, ears, pores, and other openings in the body. These parasites are, in fact, hair, vegetative, or synthetic fibers, scabs, or other foreign substances. Patients can cause serious scars as they pick these "worms" out of their skin.
