Why does itching feel good?

[Chigworthy]

Does it release endorphins or some like shit into the old stream? I've got some poison oak on my shin and if I just barely itch it, then leave it alone, it's like a little orgasm going off on my shinbone for a second. Will hair grow on my soles now?

[Judge Smails]

I think that you're confusing itch and scratch.

"itching your ass" sounds naughty. almost like it should be in porn.
"scratching your ass" sounds calming. soothing. like a field of flowers.

A typical mattress can contain tens of thousands of dust mites. Nearly 100,000 mites can live in one square yard of carpet. A single dust mite produces about 20 waste droppings each day, each containing a protein to which many people are allergic. The proteins in that combination of feces and shed skin are what cause allergic reactions in humans. Depending on the person and exposure, reactions can range from itchy eyes to asthma attacks.

A typical used mattress may have anywhere from 100,000 to 10 million mites inside. (Ten percent of the weight of a two year old pillow can be composed of dead mites and their droppings.) Mites prefer warm, moist surroundings such as the inside of a mattress when someone is on it. A favorite food is dander (both human and animal skin flakes). Humans shed about 1/5 ounce of dander (dead skin) each week. About 80 percent of the material seen floating in a sunbeam is actually skin flakes. Also, bedroom carpeting and household upholstery support high mite populations.
