Gamer's itch

Anyone ever get this? If you're not sure what it is, it's a sudden and excruciating itch which happens while gaming, often during a particularly tricky moment, which you simply absolutely have to scratch immediately. It's almost agonisingly intense, usually hitting the nose area.

If you've never heard of, or experienced it, I'm sure you now will. Thankyou

Happens whilst moving heavy equipment or boxes too

It's the worst on GH3 whilst playing online

I always get it just as I've put barrier cream and latex gloves on to change the oil in the car. Or as soon as I've donned the Marigolds to do the washing up. It's a mental thing I'm sure.

Oh yes. every single time, seems to be worse with driving games, always get an irresistible urge to scratch the nose.

No but I have that sort of thing while lifting weights. Good old preemptive scratch of the hooter seems to do the trick

Edit* Doesn't matter.

My mate has it and it annoys me watching him scratch his face ALL THE TIME when playing. I shout at him
