No the person is not joking. This happens. Sometimes human hairs are infested by the bodily nerves that are usually encapsulated within the body of a horsehair worm. The nerves are able to root themselves at the base of the human scalp and actually can sprout and grow, thus disguising itself as being a human hair but in reality being a worm. Okay I just made that up but that would be crazy if your hair had worm nerves in it.

That parasite's intermediary host is the aquatic insect like mayflies. The mantis get the parasite when they eat the aquatic insects.
