One time I had a weird skin thing and was trying to look up whether I should be worried about it, and stumbled onto a bunch of shit about Morgellons Disease, in which people think they have fibers or parasites growing out of their skin.

I just had a weird ingrown hair.

Yeah I also learned the hard way not to look up skin diseases on the internet. And if you must, disable images first.

Wikipedia still catches me off guard every so often.
