ITCH, n.

1. A cutaneous disease of the human race, appearing in small watery pustules on the skin, accompanied with an uneasiness or irritation that inclines the patient to use friction. This disease is supposed by some authors to be occasioned by a small insect, a species of Acarus, as the microscope detects these insects in the vesicles. Others suppose the pustules only form a nidus for the insects. This disease is taken only by contact or contagion.
2. The sensation in the skin occasioned by the disease.
3. A constant teasing desire as an itch for praise an itch for scribbling.

ITCH,

1. To feel a particular uneasiness in the skin, which inclines the person to scratch the part.
2. To have a constant desire or teasing inclination as itching ears. 2 Timothy 4
