Damn. Is there any malady I don't have?

Pretty sure I have Formication. Woke up the other night and told my wife I had insects crawling on my back. I'm always getting sensations of pins and tiny insect bites.

Formication
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Fornication.


Formication is the medical term for a sensation that resembles that of insects crawling (tactile hallucination) on (or under) the skin. It is one specific form of a set of sensations known as paresthesia, which also include the more common prickling, tingling sensation of "pins and needles".
