User:Itching Powder
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Itching powder refers to a group of powders or powder-like substances which induce itching when applied onto human skin. This is usually done as a practical joke or prank to an unsuspecting victim.
The cause of the irritation can be mechanical, such as products containing ground rose hips. [1] In other cases, the irritant causes contact dermatitis. For instance, a proteolytic enzyme in okra can cause irritation and lesions. [2] Another common ingredient is Mucuna pruriens. [3]
