Answers: My son asked me today, and I have no idea how to answer. What's the worst itch you've ever had?

A skin irritation that provokes a scratch caused by hair or the release of histamines under the skin.Histamine is a biogenic amine involved in local immune responses as well as regulating physiological function in the gut and acting as a neurotransmitter.[1] New evidence also indicates that histamine plays a role in chemotaxis of white blood cells.[citation needed].Shouldn't think the little fella will understand all that anyway the worst itch for me is the one when your just dozing and you can't get rid of it without moving then you can't get back to sleep

An itch is a b i t c h without a B

The worst itch I ever had was when I had crabs, I scratched my balls till they were rore.

well now u can tell him lol

An itch is an irritation on the skin. Many refer to athletes foot as being the worst itch, although I hate when I get itches on my back, they're hard to reach. Hope that answered your question.

its is caused by the release of histamine beneath the skin, this activates nerves in the skin giving the itching sensation

im assuming hes under 5
so say something like
an itch is when you cant stop scratching yourself
and when it gets real bad
it turns red and you should come tell a grownup that you trust
