===Tactile=== {{Main|Tactile hallucination}} Tactile hallucinations are the illusion of tactile sensory input, simulating various types of pressure to the skin or other organs. One subtype of tactile hallucination, [[formication]], is the sensation of insects crawling underneath the skin and is frequently associated with prolonged [[cocaine]] use.<ref name="Berrios_1982">{{cite journal | vauthors = Berrios GE | title = Tactile hallucinations: conceptual and historical aspects | journal = Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry | volume = 45 | issue = 4 | pages = 285β293 | date = April 1982 | pmid = 7042917 | pmc = 491362 | doi = 10.1136/jnnp.45.4.285 }}</ref> However, formication may also be the result of normal hormonal changes such as [[menopause]], or disorders such as [[peripheral neuropathy]], high fevers, [[Lyme disease]], [[skin cancer]], and more.<ref name="Berrios_1982"/>
