> In one study, a German professor of psychosomatics gave a lecture that included, in the first half, a series of what might be called itchy slides, showing fleas, lice, people scratching, and the like, and, in the second half, more benign slides, with pictures of soft down, baby skin, bathers. Video cameras recorded the audience. Sure enough, the frequency of scratching among people in the audience increased markedly during the first half and decreased during the second. Thoughts made them itch.

I itched while and after reading the article. At various times I scratched my head, my nose, my lip. I don't normally have a problem with itching, and none of them were extreme.

Writing this comment made it way worse! I've scratched my arm, my leg, my back, my eye socket all since I went to copy and paste the quote above. Anyone else find the same?
