An examination of the various problems arising from suppression, by the veteran LUDWIG CHRISTIAN JUNCKER, in Dissertalio de Damno ex Scabie Repulsa, Halle, 1750, p. Mentioned in book 15-18.
In young people with an optimistic temperament, tuberculosis develops following the suppression of itching, and in these cases, hemorrhoids, colic, and kidney stone formation; swelling of the inguinal lymph nodes, hardening of the joints, malignant ulcers, disease with suffocating mucus in obese people; In addition, inflammatory fever, acute pleurisy and lung inflammation have been observed.
Also, autopsies revealed that the lungs were hardened and filled with cysts containing pus; also other hardenings, bone swellings and ulcers were seen to follow suppression of a rash. As a result of such pressures, edema, delayed menstruation, and hemoptysis have been observed.
