First off, I don't know if this is a normal healthy thing tooccur. There have been many times where I have an itch on say myarm and I scratch it, only to feel the scratching elsewhere on mybody. I assume somewhere along the transit of the touch signals tomy brain the signal gets mixed up and is processed incorrectly.
So my questions are:
- Why does this mixup happen? (chemical imbalance, damagednerves, etc..)
- How does my brain correspond the touch to somewhere else?(what is the process behind it)
