Human nails and hair are made of Keratin. Human hair has fewer disulfide bonds making it more flexible. The young lady here must be in a lot of pain. Hopefully someone who can think 'out of the box' will find a way to resolve her difficulties.

Followup with more information about this Memphis student and her unusual condition. We know that Morgellons has as one of its key signposts odd keratin fibers of different colors growing throughout the skin. If Johns Hopkins finds a way to reverse this young lady's condition then it is not a stretch that that treatment may have implications for Morgellons sufferers.

See this: Multiple minute digitate hyperkeratoses (MMDH) Goldstein described the first case of MMDH in 1967. He suggested the term “multiple minute digitate hyperkeratoses” because the projections were numerous, and finger-like by physical exam and were comprised of a horn of dense orthokeratin. Since then 28 cases have been described in the literature under a variety of terms including MMDH, post-irradiation digitate keratoses, disseminated spiked hyperkeratosis, minute aggregate keratoses, transient post-inflammatory digitate keratoses, and familial disseminated piliform hyperkeratosis... (see article) dermatology.cdlib.org/1705/1_case_reports/1_11-00117/article.htmlUnderstanding and diagnosing MMDH is complicated by its resemblance to other digitate keratotic conditions such as : lichen spinulosus, phrynoderma, spiny keratoderma, arsenical keratoses, postirradiation digitate keratoses, trichodysplasia spinulosa associated with immunosuppression and polyoma infection, hyperkeratotic spicules associated with hematopoietic neoplasia, and even filiform warts.

And another: Abstract: Virus-associated trichodysplasia spinulosa (VATS) is a cutaneous eruption of spiny papules predominantly affecting the face that is associated with a distinctive histologic picture of abnormally maturing anagen follicles with excessive inner root sheath differentiation and hyperkeratotic infundibula. pt01.wkhealth.com/pt/re/aids/abstract.00000478-200502000-00012.htm;jsessionid=Q26TNGnhsFvHBBPy87Jy3DgGGS0FtwmQ1tpMDQTCDBNwCpx15gp4!1510741662!181195628!8091!-1 *I've got lots more articles on this subject of keratin in overdrive in the follicles, but the causes are unknown. If you'd like me to post them I will, please let me know*
