Externet Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Hi. Itching is not a painful sensation, as pinching, or piercing, or a burn... Scratching provides relief, and pleasure. If some of you have had serious/intense skin complications; will understand scratching can get pleasant to extremes. What goes on with the causes of itching ? Not only related to insect bites, but the sporadic skin manifestation, either by a recognizable presence of a microbe or none. How come scratching provides pleasure? An 'evolutionary' thought of scratching providing dissemination of microorganisms under fingernails... is that real ? Let me say it different... Do itching causers provide chemical pleasure to bearers so scratching promotes dissemination ? Would an analysis of material under the fingernails show spores or something that proves scratching is a transmission method of itching causing microorganisms ? Sorry about my poor English Miguel
