How it's used
This expression describes someone who is restless or curious about a wide variety of hobbies or activities. It carries a slightly informal tone, often implying that the person is always looking for a new project or interest to occupy their time. It is distinct from being merely busy, as it specifically highlights the breadth of one's curiosity.
Examples
He is interested in everything and wants to learn a bit of everything.
Since you are interested in so many things, why not sign up for a class?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 痕, which refers to physical itching. While 周身痕 means to be itchy all over the body, 周身癮 is strictly about having many interests or hobbies.
