My experience made me realize the dilemmas of the recognition of the disease in the medical community and social implication.

Hence to bring this awareness to the public and healthcare providers I was compelled to write this book. A 40 years old woman comes to my office with sores all over body. Complains of crawling sensations and itching. States she sees threads coming out of her body. She grabs the hand sanitizer and rubs on her belly and tries to bring out stuff.
