Buggyone, there's a word for that feeling; it's formication. With an M!!
Definitions of formication (n)
for·mi·ca·tion [ fàwrmi káysh'n ]
feeling of insects crawling on skin: a neurologically based hallucination in which somebody feels as if insects are crawling on his or her skin.

Thanks for asking, Bare. I want to know, too. Does anybody know for sure?
