Interesting Fact # 594 - The itch gene
There is an itch gene.
(The GRPR (gastrin-releasing peptide receptor) "itch gene" was found in spinal cord nerve cells by a Washington University team. This means they can now start developing anti-itch medication, so no more having to ask someone to scratch that place in the middle of your back that you can never quite reach yourself.)
