the skin is the place where the immune cells tend to collect to fight off diseases since diseases are exposed there. stress can cause white blood cells to locate on the skin and actually cause skin diseases. and some skin diseases itch. i think thats right. it was difficult to understand so thats what i formed my conclusion on!!! eek!
love bunches!!!

scienctist have studied mice to try to find out why our skin itches. one reason is because when the white blood cells attack on coming bacteria, the immune cells overreact. trhis causes the skin to feel like this because our skin is first in line to help protect our bodies from harmful bacteria.

Stress causes white blood cells to go to the skin causing irratation. They test this theory on rats and figured out how to prevent it.

i really think that this blog is very helpful because you learn why you itch when you are stress out!

the reason you itch when you are stress is because you the white blood cells are pumped in you body.

stress activates immune cells and skin disease and when we itch it activates fewer immune cells.

Wow!!! This was very interesting. I've always wanted to know why we itch. Just reading this article made me itch all over!!!

Stress activating the immune system makes you itch. White blood cells attack bacteria and viruses which makes the immune cells overreact.

Before I read this article I thought I itched because my skin twiched but this makes more scence. Have a nice day or night!!! :-)

When you stress your body sends more white blood cells to stop the bacteria. For some reason the more white blood cells you have in your skin the worse it is.
