Having itchy palms because of an allergy might happen commonly in terms of a large population, but it is not common to have this condition. If it happens to you then you should get it looked at instead of biting them. This is the correct and acceptable response. Putting your hands in your mouth and using your teeth because something is wrong with your palms does not need to be normalized.
If people have itchy palms for any reason, I’m not shaming them. I’m pointing out that putting your hands in your mouth is strange.
Meh, like yeah if it’s happening a lot and you have a inflammation/rash/broken skin then yeah get that checked.
Don’t know a doctor who will give the time of day if i show up saying, “my hand was itchy for two minutes a couple weeks ago and this happens a handful of times a year and it feels good if i use my teeth to dig in”…

That’s a good example of what i mean. Allergic reactions are common issues.
It’s normal to not have an itch and it’s normal to itch. Both can be true simultaneously and neither is weird.
Granted it’s a comment on Lemmy but at a larger scale this kind of incredulous comment can reinforce stigmas.
