Backscratcher: History & Applications

A backscratcher, sometimes known as a scratch-back, is a hand tool used for scratching the skin in order to relieve an itch in areas that cannot easily be reached just by one's own hands, typically the back. Although the backscratcher was an early human invention, other primates have been observed using similar tools.
