The "horrible thing" is fingernail loss, which mostly occurs after a prolonged spacewalk. It occurs more often in poorly-fitted gloves and in women, but can occur in well-fitted gloves and in men.
Those are basically all of the facts in the article.

I was expecting it to be a lot more exciting than something that also happens to your toes on earth if you do too much long distance running.
