    Eur J Pharmacol 530:281-3. 2006
    ..Pretreatment of animals with a histamine H1 receptor antagonist, pyrilamine, blocked histamine induced scratching, but it had little effect on SLIGRL scratching. Our study suggests that PAR2 mediates histamine independent itch...

    ..These results suggest the possibility that capsaicin, histamine and cowhage activate common peripheral or central neural mechanisms that mediate pruritic sensations and associated dysesthesias...

    Exp Dermatol 20:778-82. 2011
    ..Here, we review to what extent mice behaviourally differentiate chemicals that elicit itch versus pain in humans...
