My friend was convinced that this was happening to her. Turns out the fibers got more prevalent and scary the more meth she did. I think there could be a connection there……seriously though she was on meta and she would capture them and bring them to the doctor etc. she also thought they turned into like glass under her skin. When the doctors would politely tell her there wasn’t anything there/wrong she convinced herself they were covering it up/in on it. When I wouldn’t agree and try to show her that it was nothing she would get very upset. It’s sad really.

[@monkeymachine33]

This is caused from meth 100%!! A lot of people do it but it has such a stigma that no one talks about it but this is a meth side effect. It happened to me when I used to do meth too. I would go to the doctors and show them that I had fibers under my skin that were moving and I thought I had parasites under my skin as well. It was very scary and real. Then after that I started having delusions about the government stalking me and sabotaging me. I wish more people knew that this is meth side effects! Once I stopped meth all of that went away!

[@serendipityblooming1244]

Look up the patents. It's real

[@main4066]

The fact that the doctor just said there's nothing wrong... like there is something wrong, but not with the lint, it's the patient! Doc should've used the time to assess possible drug use and/or psychosis. These patients need help because if they get dismissed they'll grow more paranoid and less likely to seek help, so also less likely to get better

[@DrDIY1]

RN here. This DOES actually happen. Not this crazy "alive" fibers like in this video. But, morgellons is a real disease. Most medical profs thought everyone who had it was bonkers and it was just had delusional parasitosis. But, turns out they weren't all crazy. Even an MLB player had it.

I hope she gets help. She’s clearly got severe paranoia caused by a psychological disorder. And the ppl agreeing with her probably have it too. While this is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen, it also makes me feel kinda bad as someone who has to fight paranoia quite often (although never to this degree). I can’t imagine the amount of stress and misery I’d have if I genuinely thought that fabric fibers were trying to crawl into my skin and harm me

[@havanadaurcy1321]

I posted this before but she sounds like she has the disease: Morgellons disease is a condition characterized by a belief that parasites or fibers are emerging from the skin. People with this condition often report feeling as if something is crawling on or stinging their skin.

I used to have friends whose parents were hardcore IV methamphetamine addicts, and they acted exactly like this when we were growing up. I didn't know what was wrong with them at the time because I was a teenager and I didn't know about that sort of thing yet. I also thought they were really crazy and was afraid of them in passing. I could only imagine what it would have been like to be raised by them. It messed them up so badly that they are now homeless, alcoholic methamphetamine addicts, and worse off than their parents were.

[@candycanekennie3302]

[@altega]

ive suffered with delusional parasitosis before, partly because of ocd but ive also had bouts of psychosis multiple times in my lifetime. i hadnt heard of morgellons until the sawbones podcast did an episode where they talked about it in like 2021, i wouldve been incredibly vulnerable to believing i had it. its a terrifying thing to go through, and ive had some pretty bad infections from picking at my skin just to like. MAKE SURE there wasnt anything under any bump. thats something that still affects me. unfortunately when it comes to the mentally ill, we are a very easy target for propaganda. when youre feeling crazy and like nobody believes you, youre going to seek out those who DO. sadly, many meet them before they can ever get psychological help, and that downward spiral into conspiracy theories is brutal. once you believe that the government is doing this to you and everyone else is covering it up, its unlikely youll believe anyone who wants you to get help. even if i disagree with a lot of their political opinions in these conspiracy groups, i still feel really awful for them. my case wasnt too severe, i can only imagine how terrified this woman truly is. how horrified new moms feel when theres some random thread from an old shirt stuck to their babys chins, and when they google it theyre told its a parasite that the government refuses to do anything about. its sad.

[@stellamariss3335]

I relate to this. I have adhd and I have had severe periods of health paranoia since I was a child. And I had a parasite period as well and it was awful. I a,so didn’t know about this theory of morgellin fibers, idk if I would’ve have believed it, but I could’ve. I was convinced it was just a parasite at the time not a sentient being like that. Which that would be even worse experience if I did.

[@aqualms]

I haven't heard of these theories, but I'm also not going to look into these theories😅 I've had bouts of self-picking, more so to dig out "infections" or acne, or just to make the bump smooth. I never think it's like, some weird conspiracy, I just feel like the bump is bad and Iwant it to be smooooth. And of course "don't pick it and it will go away" is far easier said than done. But I'm trying to get better, and I've gotten loads better since I was a teen.

[@CRGR1997]

I agree the lady in this video should get help, drug induced paranoia or not, it would be beneficial for her and all in her life.

[@Huzaku]

The reason the fibers move is because they are so small the heat from your body is enough to attract it because of the change in air pressure. The tiniest change in air pressure can make these things move around like crazy, because they are practically weightless fibers. You can look at your clothes, choose any tiny fiber (I guarantee there is a bunch especially if you have pets) just pull it away from your clothes a little bit so it's kinda standing a little. And you can recreate everything you've seen in the video. I did it with about 3 different ones on my right arm just before typing this. You can literally take them and put them under a microscope which you can purchase from any hobby lobby or Walmart near you and literally see its just a fiber. It's not sentient it's not spying on you it's just a piece of hair or string that's being affected by air pressure. It's so small and when stood up like an antenna like that someone breathing in another room could make it move. Like how can these people be the same species as those who built the hubble telescope, or flew a satellite out of our solarsystem. Holy shit

She SCREAMS!!!!!! "PUT THAT DOWN!!!!!!" I tried to plead with her, "Mom, this is not alive. It's string from my scarf, see?" I showed her my scarf closely. Little did I know she would not believe me. She started pooping in bags and taking them to labs, doctors, hospitals. It was horrible watching so many people look at her like she was insane. Which, she did in fact have a lapse in sanity.

she may be mentally ill but it doesn’t mean she’s stupid. she can know alot about alot of things; and this just isnt one of them. she would be fine in schools as long as its not something brought up or talked about in class. There’s nothing wrong with her working and theres a possibility something like this wouldnt hinder her job. she just needs help and a doctor but unfortunately when you have paranoia it makes you not want to seek help. I just hope she ends up okay.

[@kimdavis2433]

As a kid I used to have a mental disorder that made me pull out my hair and I was curious what the whitish "tube" thing at the root of some strands was, so I googled something along the lines of "white stuff in hair follicles" and the only results I could find were people with this delusion lol. Found out years later that it just looked like that when the strand I pulled was still in its growth phase and not its dormant phase.

[@gregs7519]

Those white tubes are demodex worms that live inside your hair follicles and eat the oils from your skin. You have them all over your body, and they don't really hurt anything.

After a certain point, conspiracy theories do devolve into delusion. Online forums/etc based around conspiracy theories are often full of people who suffer from Delusions of Persecution and the like.

[@chloegianna3837]

My mom is experiencing this and while I know it is easy to mock these people, it is very real and traumatizing to them. My mom has begged me to believe her and shown me her evidence, and I have tried suggesting she stop drinking or that she might seek psychiatric help, but she is so deep into it that she won’t consider it for a second. I honestly think I was doing her more harm by suggesting I didn’t believe it. I related to her in that when I started having panic attacks, I genuinely 10000% was convinced I was having brain aneurisms and was going to die, I was so so scared to the point of begging my loved ones to help me or take me to the hospital, but they were all experiencing sanity and obviously told me I was imagining it. That sent me even deeper into panic as I believed I was truly actively dying and everyone around me didn’t care. My dad hung up on me when I begged to go to the ER and my boyfriend at the time told me to chill out. Anyways, I relate to her in that way and have just decided to listen and be there for her, and I think that helped her more than anything. She seems to be doing much better now after several years of pulling them out of her body but I am always worried it will come back.

“response to the lack of information on MD at the time, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)Trusted Source conducted a population-based study between 2006 and 2008. The goal was to better characterize MD as a condition and learn more about the people who develop it. The findings of this study were published in 2012 in the scientific journal PLoS One. Researchers were able to identify 115 individuals with self-reported MD within an area of Northern California. Of this population, people reporting MD were more likely to be: female aged in their early to mid 50’s white Study participants also frequently reported experiencing chronic fatigue. Over half of them (54 percent) rated their overall health as fair to poor. Additionally, of the 40 people that completed a psychiatric assessment, 63 percent were found to have clinically significant somatic concerns. This is when physical symptoms cause significant worry or distress. Clinically significant depression was the next most common finding (11 percent).”

Lyme disease spirochete bacteria is present in Morgellons cases. And no it’s not just fuzz stuck on skin, actual fibers come out of the skin. The chemical test hasn’t pinpointed anything we have here as a chemical which is super strange but like I said the bacteria is present. The person does not have to have Lyme disease so it’s still a mystery where it’s coming from. The link is from the findings from the national institutes of health. There’s actually quite a bit of study. It’s progressed pretty far. Don’t get me wrong I’m sure many people think they have it but don’t, BUT there actually are unknown fibers the come out of the actual skin itself. Splices of infected skin shows it grow out like a hair🤷‍♀️

It might be fun to laugh at, but she really would be having a battle with her brain fighting every lucid thought she can have. If she isn't trolling, it just proves how no matter what mental illness you have, people would rather make fun of you then sympathize with how awful it is.
