Wonderful article on @NPR about our study npr.org/sections/health-shot…

What can trigger an itch? Scientists have found a new culprit

This itchy microbe really touches a nerve. A common skin bacterium can directly interact with a nerve cell to trigger an itch, new study shows, suggesting possible new therapies for itchy conditions.
