Business Insider:
A mystery illness has stolen the life of a 28-year-old in Tennessee. The disease is some kind of skin condition that somehow causes an increase in the number of skin cells that are growing out of her hair follicles — a 12 fold increase. This turns the “hair” into something akin to “nails.”
The woman’s mother described her illness toYahoo!:
“Black scabs were coming out of her skin,” said her mother, Kathy Gary. “The nails would grow so long and come out and regrow themselves. They are hard to touch and stick you.”
