Because livejournal is for epidemiology

[fivemack]

Have any of my readers noticed their lower legs and upper arms becoming more than usually itchy in the last three or so weeks? I have; I complained to my co-worker and found that he and his wife both had, and so why not ask everyone I know ...

(I suspect it may be a matter of very cold outside weather translating to very low humidity inside central-heated houses)

I have noticed my legs getting very itchy, but that's because I've been wearing tights all the time as an extra layer of warmth... :-}

(Also, I have an insect-bite. How the hell can any bitey things still be alive in this cold???)

I've been itchy around sides of waist a bit more since taking to wearing jogger-bottoms under my trousers. The warm more than makes up for it.

They move indoors for the winter.
