Why do we itch?

I don’t mean when something is touching you and tickling or irritating your skin, I mean why do we get random itches on parts of us seemingly without any causal stimulus?

It’s glitches in your bodies nervous system. Your body is made up of millions of smaller parts, all working together to make you. Sometimes the message gets lost in translation to your brain. Sometimes a part of your body will scream out for help on accident. Sometimes your brain is thinking about itching, and that signal is transmitted to your body. “I’m thinking about itching, therefore something, somewhere must be itchy.”

The brain and body are weird complex things, just like computers. And they’re not perfect.
