Today at lunch time I went for a run. I’ve been trying to supplement by cycling with running, since it’s harder to get motivated to ride in the winter time. A 20 mph wind chill factor just doesn’t make for a very enjoyable ride when the temperature is already below 50°F. Even the sun doesn’t help.

After I finished my run through the sod farm and strawberry fields, near where I work, I noticed my quads were starting to itch. I didn’t think much of it at first, but as it started getting worse, I looked down, and I noticed my quads were covered in what I guessed were hives.

There are a number of things which can cause hives, two of which I have, i.e. allergy to pollen and leukemia (technically lymphoma, but no doubt related), plus it was a bright sunny day, and I do tend to sweat a lot, two other factors which can contribute to hives.

Anywaze, to get to the subject of my post, as the itching increased, I had no choice but to scratch the affected area, and I can tell you, without a doubt, there is no greater feeling than the feeling derived from scratching an itch. It’s like you don’t ever want that feeling to end.

During the time I have been writing this post, the hives have started to disappear, and the itching has dissipated substantially, but for that briefest period of time, I almost didn’t mind the attack nor did I want it to go away.

Think about it, the next time you get an itch, just how enjoyable it is to scratch.

   OMG you have lost your mind.

   But seriously, it does sound safer than sex.
