Comments on: The Neurobiology of Itching http://www.neatorama.com/2008/06/26/the-neurobiology-of-itching/ The Neat Side of the Web Thu, 16 Feb 2012 10:48:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: MoonCake http://www.neatorama.com/2008/06/26/the-neurobiology-of-itching/comment-page-1/#comment-629270 MoonCake Fri, 27 Jun 2008 11:49:27 +0000 http://www.neatorama.com/?p=17015#comment-629270 how terrible that must be.. i have dreadlocks and my scalp itches because i can't really wash them every single day, and using conditioner to saturate my skin just makes the dreads loose. so i've had some bad itches at times and have had to mentally disable myself from scratching because it was just so persistent and ridiculous. (why have them at all, you may be asking? it's difficult to come to terms with shaving your head when you're female). but i can empathize with constant itching.. it sucks. i could barely deal with poison ivy when i was a kid, but not having any sort of relief would drive me absolutely insane. how terrible that must be.. i have dreadlocks and my scalp itches because i can’t really wash them every single day, and using conditioner to saturate my skin just makes the dreads loose. so i’ve had some bad itches at times and have had to mentally disable myself from scratching because it was just so persistent and ridiculous.

Although, being allergic, I can tell that the pain of scratching to the blood, or burning the itch with hot water is much more bearable than the itch itself ;( brain scratching? farfetched.
