I wonder if it's in the saliva.

Sometimes the itch feels so deep that just scratching with your nails doesn't cut it.

I don’t even understand what she’s doing. Biting herself as a distraction? Scratching her palm with her teeth? I don’t know anyone who does this.

Sometimes scratching just isn't cutting it, and the human brain is...well it's something and it tells me bite the itch cause teeth are stronger and you try and it doesn't help.

The nails... They tickle.... The itch is deeper, towards the bone... USE YOUR TEETH.

Oh, but it does. It helps soooo much. Something about the pinpoint pressure in just the right spot just hits so good… But you can’t just keep biting it forever, and generally the itch comes back again soon after.

Well based on votes I’m in the minority. Never heard of this. Whatever works!

Oh, I thought maybe she was picking at some skin and then chewing it off.

It's so itchy you bite it to make that spot painful just for a bit to override the itchiness.

Understanding isn't necessary. The call to bite is there and it somehow works, so you don't question it. I don't grind me teeth to mimic scratching - just bite.
