Formication

« on: September 23, 2010, 06:29:51 AM »

No, funny as the association is, its NOT what you thought....

Its the sensation that insects (latin for ant: formica) are crawling on (or for some under) the skin. I got it for the first time a couple of days ago when I was playing the vioin - I could have sworn there was one crawling up my leg to the point I hurridly put the instrument down and searched - but nothing. Then I got it again yesterday - but this time was less surprised. And then looked it up. I hope it goes away...

Well, anyone else formicated?

I occassionally get this and have wondered if the culprits are simply too small to see. Especially given my eyes.

A fellow offered me a coffee the other day, it was empty and when I looked inside there was a circada must have been a couple of inches long, with big pincers at the front. hahah very funny.
