'''Itchiness''' is the sensation that causes a person the desire or reflex to scratch at their skin. Drugs, such as [[opioids]], that activate [[histamine]] receptors or trigger histamine release can cause this effect. A way to counteract the itchiness in cases of drug use is to take an [[anti-histamine]] such as [[DPH]].
