Itchy Scratchy

[dianyla]

I'm not really big on posting links to articles. However, as a person who often feels the sensation of itching, and often needs to scratch that itch, I found this article to be absolutely fascinating.

The Itch, by Atul Gawande (who has also written a number of interesting popular medicine books well worth checking out).

That article is awful, only on page two I'm feeling the need to scratch in a billion places and grossed out by what that poor woman did to herself. Eww.

Yeah, if you didn't need to itch before reading, by the end of the article you'll be fleabagging furiously!
