I guess I have just itched a lot for my entire life, so I just scratch and don’t really think about it. But it was recently brought to my attention by someone, and I realized that I am scratching constantly. Like all over my body. I’ll scratch my leg, then my head itches, then the back of my hand, then my cheek, then my arm, and so on and so on, every few seconds. I might scratch 10 or 20 spots within a minute. I think I might stop scratching if I’m really focused on something, but if I start thinking about my itching, then it just keeps happening. And like I said, I think this has been going on for my entire life, but I never really paid much attention to it. Is this normal?
One place I did JiuJitsu at had a guy with a specific type of soap allergy and it was being activated from other people’s Gi’s.
Allergies suck. I’m eternally grateful I don’t have a peanut allergy; that always sounds like a living hell. Imagine being afraid every time you get on a plane that someone brought peanuts with them, and you’re going to die because some molecules got into the air recycling system and you breathed them.
All I have is grass allergies. And pot makes my nauseous; I put that in the “allergy” column, too.
