I had to look it up to figure out what the hell you were talking about. Apparently he has Morgellons Disease which is a condition where the person feels like bugs are crawling under their skin. Crazy.

"Most individuals with this disease report disturbing symptoms such as crawling, stinging and biting sensations, as well as non-healing skin lesions which are associated with highly unusual structures. These structures can be described as fiber-like or filamentous, and they are the most striking and least understood aspect of this disease. In addition, many sufferers also report symptoms of disabling fatigue, severe mental confusion, short term memory loss, joint pain, sharp decline in vision, and serious neurological disorders."

Don't get confused, no independent researcher has ever been able to confirm this disease is anything but psychosomatic. If you read the talk page on the wiki article, anyone who has ever found it to be a "real" disease is associated with the Morgellon's foundation.
