My roommates are bugging me out

Hey there everyone I have a really sad but true story about my good friend and his mom. First of all I owe them my life because I would be in the streets without them. My life is a whole crazy story of its own and this just adds to the chaos.
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
I’m not a doctor nor do I pretend to be one but I do know how to read and I pay attention. I believe my friends have a condition known as Delusional parasitosis. It’s a disorder that makes a person believe they are infested with bugs or parasites. It’s very rare and even more rare that two people in the same household to have it.
\_\_\_\_\_\_
It’s almost impossible to speak with logic yo them and the more I try and disengage the harder they try to draw me back in to the delusion. When I read up about what could be going on with them I was astonished at the fact they fit every single category of the symptoms and when I read the article to them they immediately dismissed it and believe the government did this to everyone or aliens.
\_\_\_\_\_\_
They have been collecting specimens and documenting and taking pictures for a variety of doctors and dermatologists and the things they collect are not anything but scabs, boogers, lint ,

the logic is there, but the execution is uneven

Stepping back, the timing matters more than people admit and that’s where it gets complicated Curious how this plays out.

At first glance, the wording alone shifts how people read this and that tension shows up immediately That part stands out. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

At this point, the signal is clear, the strategy less so That’s what makes this interesting. Not convinced this is settled yet. That’s just my read on it.

Just reading this, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that’s what people are responding to Hard to say where this lands long term. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
