Former Closer Billy Koch With Unknown Skin Virus

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Oddly enough I was just recently wondering if Billy Koch was still in baseball in any capacity and lo and behold I found this link about him on the Baseball Fever website.

 

Koch, his wife and two kids have an unknown skin disease that is affecting some people in the Bay area and Florida. The link is there along with the video that provides the entire story. This story is extremely bizarre.

Is this really true?

What a bizare disease. Some of it is apparantly psychosomatic.

A friend of mine in the Bay area has this, both he and his wife do. He describes it as feeling like there are thousands of tiny hair-like "bugs" crawling under and in and out of his skin...plus trouble sleeping, constant rashes and skin ailments and muscle aches/cramps/spasms. I can't believe so many medical professionals are basically saying people are "making most of it up" in their heads when thousands of people have it, typically multiple people living together.

Just because multiple people living together get it doesn't mean its a communicable disease.

Didn't say it was. I'm just a little stunned that so many are still trying to pass this off as only or mostly psychosomatic.
