I'm hoping that some more experienced folks chime in here to encourage and reassure you. There are many theories about what MD is and what causes it, I believe that our bodies attract parasites because our immune system is damaged. I also believe that it all starts by the way we abuse our gut. This causes an overgrowth of fungus and parasites love fungus.
The fact that you are having symptoms and the fact that you had a noticeable reaction to your friend who has MD should cause you to get proactive so you can get ahead of this thing. As you notice, you can stop the itch by doing regular hygiene stuff.
I advise you to take steps to restore your bio terrain so that you are no longer attracting the source of the itch (whatever that may be)
Read the forum and get a good understanding as to what must be done regarding diet, protocol and cleaning up you environment.
Do an assessment of your personal circumstances and then take action.
It sounds to me like you may have caught things early and that you have a good opportunity to be quite proactive.
Good luck and keep us all informed.
You never know when your story could help someone who's exactly in the same place as you are.
Lots of love
