Scratching and rubbing, good feelings
Don't resist the urge to scratch. It sends a good feeling message to your brain. And so is rubbing, which can even tone down the soreness of an owie. I'm so glad people study these things. I was attracted to the above-linked story because I'm been doing a lot of scratching lately. Turns out cancer cranks out a lot of itches along the way. But both scratching and rubbing send good signals to the brain. Relieves the itch and relieves some of the pain. Now you know. Just go out and get someone to rub you where you hurt. Or you can even rub yourself. To the tune of rub it in, rub it in. Posted by Steve E. Swenson 1 comments from 1 users

Boy, I know why no one touched this post. You can't say anything on this subject without punning. Why the body decided itching is a good signal to send when it is healing is either bad or sadistic design. I've lost many a scab and created many a scar for just that reason.
