I was out of town for the w/e so am a bit behind. However I was reading a
book about skin and touch to my kids. It said that "when the pain receptors
in your skin are touched lightly, you feel only a tickle. But if the pain
receptors are bothered a bit more, you feel itchy." "Maybe you have worn
clothing that makes you itch. It rubs and stimulates pain receptors, but not
enough to make you skin hurt."
This is how my dtr reacts to a tag on her clothes. Hope this helps in some
way.
