When I was very little I got stung on the palm by a wasp, and then again a few years later on that same palm, and it is something I am occasionally forced to be reminded of because there is a reoccurring pain in the joints of that hand ever since. I developed a habit of idly running or dragging the backs of my nails across that palm so it would briefly mask the stinging/burning/aching sensations between the phalanges.
