First case of Ekbom's Syndrome.

Reminds me of Morgellons disease. The only way to cure these people is MORE PILLS!

Meh.  At least it keeps 'em quiet. 

I mean, if you can't cure them, you may as well keep them from waking the neighbors.

I've heard whispered rumors that they have done some studies on Obecalp which does wonders on stuff like this. 

Fuck sugar pills.  Fill the bastards to the brim with Klonopin, and keep them busy with side effects.

Morgellons may not be a disease on it's own, but rather a symptom of several other disorders, including Ekbom's.

Morgellon's seems more like attention-whoring, whereas this woman seems to be an Entomophobe.

I think this is an actual psychological disorder. I was surprised to hear the pest control guy use psychosomatic, and I think it fits.

Diseases like these are weird. It's hard to draw the line between "There's nothing wrong with you, GTFO and STFU" and "There is, in fact, something wrong with you, but it isn't what you think it is and you'll probably get mad at me if I tell you what's really going on."

Kinda like fibromyalgia: there is nothing, physiologically, wrong with the person's body, but they are in pain. And the mere idea of that annoys the piss outta people.

Physiologically, there is though. Neurology is based in physiology.

Point. I forgot to make that distinction.
