Itch
Itch (Latin: pruritus) is a sensation that causes the desire or reflex to scratch. Itch has resisted many attempts to classify it as any one type of sensory experience. Modern science has shown that itch has many similarities to pain, and while both are unpleasant sensory experiences, their behavioral response patterns are different. Pain creates a withdrawal reflex, whereas itch leads to a scratch reflex.
Unmyelinated nerve fibers for itch and pain both originate in the skin; however, information for them is conveyed centrally in two distinct systems that both use the same nerve bundle and spinothalamic tract.
Signs and symptoms
Pain and itch have very different behavioral response patterns. Pain evokes a withdrawal reflex, which leads to retraction and therefore a reaction trying to protect an endangered part of the body. Itch in contrast creates a scratch reflex, which draws one to the affected skin site. Itch generates stimulus of a foreign object underneath or upon the skin and also the urge to remove it. For example, responding to a local itch sensation is an effective way to remove insects from one's skin.

The Manifesto EPs
by: ItchThis one’s for the homeless romantic
You stare, stay up late giving your take on philosophy
Now it’s like everything you say is lost on me
Remember when we used to fight every aristocracy
You knew the whole flash dance choreography
Since you started seeing him you’ve changed
We never see you anymore, it ain’t the same
You never come out, you never see your mates
Or when we arrange he tells you to stay
You don’t have to do that for his sake
Believe I know your sick of seeing your heart break
But some say they swore, since you were born
You attract rats just like magnets, as crack heads who swore
And there so many rats in London, 7.5 million rats in London
Never more than 10 meters from rats in London
Even the great fire of London couldn’t burn them
May we know, that all we know is; we know nothing at all
And when we fall, may we dust ourselves off
And sneak through the backdoor
For the homeless romantic
This ones for the homeless romantic
Sing one for the homeless romantic
He ain’t worth the dirt stuck between your toes
He ain’t worth the hurt that I know you’ve known
It’s ain’t worth waiting for him to propose
Cause he just proposes that you don’t go
And now he’s got you down on your knees
Stinking up a bruise every time he breathes
You don’t want to stay, but you’re too scared to leave
If you come home with no though he won’t be pleased
So take the money walk back into the breeze
As your skinny legs start to quiver and freeze
Couples looking at you like you’re a disease
But they could never survive the way you’ve been ablrieved
It’s a bad habit no matter how you try
Losing hope is something you’ve been born to defy
You keep in siting he’s a nice guy
Even bought you makeup to cover up your black eye
May we know, that all we know is; we know nothing at all
And when we fall, may we dust ourselves off
And sneak through the backdoor
For the homeless romantic
This ones for the homeless romantic
Sing one for the homeless romantic
You’ve come a long way since your youth
Your soft skin is now ragged and bruised
And your smile doesn’t contain a tooth
Old photographs don’t seem like the truth
Cause you’re showing the signs of abuse
Covered in tracks after years of use
Overtime the fear is reduced
The grit in your eyes is proof
What don’t break us makes us damaged
Yeah it’s savage but fuck it we manage
It takes more to make us incapable
We’re invincible that’s inescapable
Achieve the unthinkable fast
Refuse to be defined by your past
So let us all stand up and raise your glass
For the homeless romantic
This ones for the homeless romantic
Sing one for the homeless romantic
May we know, that all we know is; we know nothing at all (this one’s for the homeless romantic)
And when we fall, may we dust ourselves off
And sneak through the backdoor (this one’s for the homeless romantic)
