Have you considered coating your fingers with capsaicin to make scratching your mucus membrances immediately painful?

(Apologies if this advice is unwanted - I have not experienced anything similar, and am just spitballing).

Oh, dear. Please don't try this at home. You're likely to end up with a pain rating of 10 on this guy's scale.

Actually I really appreciate that suggestion! I hadn't considered it. I always appreciate recommendations!

It may also be useful so that I rub my eyes less. My optometrist said to avoid that since I'm losing my 3D perception.

As of the end of the sentence, I intend to look up capsaicin and similarly purposed agents, and the appropriate dosage and application. Then I'll look up safety considerations if the information is indicative, and availability.
