Tuesday, April 07, 2009 4:54:44 AM Seems utterly useless to me. Bsically you have an itch, you scratch it, it stops itching. Move along, nothing to see here. |

Monday, April 06, 2009 9:58:31 PM Makes sense, a nerve healing would not send a message if interupted by larger stimuli, thus the scratch. |

Monday, April 06, 2009 9:10:59 PM i totally support a cure for the itchy. a year or two ago, i got really bad sunburn (like slept in the sun for a few hours) then a day or three after that, i experienced the hell of whats known as "sunburn itch" its where your nerve endings go fu--ing crazy and your sunburn itches. so your itching non-stop, and your itching sunburned skin. it was easily worse than anything else i have experienced. went to the hospital, and the nurses just gave me some kind of steroid, and a shot to put me to sleep for 8 hours or so, i was so busy satisfying my hellish itch that i didnt even notice the shots in the butt. i woke up in 4 hours, still itchy. finally i asked google wtf i should do. and it instructed me to take a bath loaded with baking soda, so i did and either that helped, or the symptom had exhausted itself. so if they can cure the itchy, FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Monday, April 06, 2009 5:22:29 PM I thought most itches were created due to dead skin? Of course there are other causes too....like reading this article! So itchy! |

Monday, April 06, 2009 4:58:42 PM c'mon that was weak.. you mean to tell me they needed a neuroscientist to confirm that scratching relieves an itch? and scratching doesn't feel good if you're not itchy? |
