Hurhuri

Hurhuri is a word primarily used in specific regions of Nepal to describe a strong feeling of discomfort, typically associated with an itching or prickly sensation on the skin. It's often used to describe the feeling one might get from certain types of fabrics, insect bites, or exposure to specific plants. The feeling is more than a simple itch; it carries a connotation of irritation and unease. While there isn't a precise equivalent in English, it's closest to a combination of "itchy," "prickly," and "uncomfortable." The intensity of "hurhuri" can vary from mild to severe, and the source of the sensation is not always easily identifiable. It's understood within the cultural context of Nepal to be a distinct and unpleasant sensation.
