Torch Tips being Strangled

[Markxc]

Anyone ever see this on their torches? It looks like theres a string tied to the torch tentacle that is going to eventually cut the tip off. Not sure if the tips actually detach, but i have found random torch tips in my sandbed before.

My wife's hair gets everywhere. I don't know how, but I've found it in my tank before. It's usually wrapped up somehow in one of the MP40's, but that's kind of what it looks like is going on with your torch.
