The pricking/being bitten sensation - I don't understand. The other one that's puzzling is the sensation of a feather or something like travelling on the skin. </p> <p>I know the Mayo Clinic has an article about the mental health effect of the bbs on their victims, but do these weird sensations go away after a while? I don't even sleep deeply anymore, just too ticklish at all times, if not, it's prickly.</p> <p>Even as I'm typing, the tickling is going on on different parts of my body, all at the same time! </p>
