It's where people, I think, think they're suffering from something that comes out of their skin.

And when they bring samples of what they think is like this evidence that they're sick, it turns out to be like lint or thread from a coat or just the smallest, weirdest stuff.

The other thing that happened is that they seem to have figured out how to address the Wi-Fi issue for everybody.
