Warning Signs Of Morgellons Disease

Crawling Sensations On Or Under Skin

CBS News

Another telling sign of Morgellons disease is crawling sensations on or under the skin. This sign is also known as formication, and is characterized by a feeling reminiscent of bugs crawling underneath or across the skin. The name formication comes from the word 'formica,' which is Latin for ant. The itching or crawling sensation is known as a sort of paresthesia. Paresthesia comes about as a result of feelings on or in the skin that occur without any actual physical cause. Aside from the feeling of something crawling on or under the skin, paresthesia can take a variety of other forms. Some other forms of paresthesia include tingling, burning, or numbness. This strange crawling sensation under or on the skin may also be similar to the feeling of 'pins and needles' patients can feel when their leg falls asleep. Formication is also referred to as a tactile hallucination, so called because individuals are experiencing a feeling with no apparent physical cause.
