Did you mean Iching? Itching is a side effect of dry skin, salt can cause dry skin. Reducing the amount of salt can reduce the effects. Ich is a fungal infection that usually affects fish in freshwater tanks as salt kills infections. A way to prevent this is to add a solution to the water in your tank that kills Ich (ask the people at a pet store).
