confusing the sensation is what I'm referring to. but it wouldn't surprise me is the skin could destroy it's own tissue in response. and I think that may be the case but that's based on anecdotal evidence.
but you didn't perform the test. you see back in the days of the frat they would use ice and say it's burning coal. and people got burned. or so I heard. Ice can destroy tissue as well so there you go.
DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF SUGGESTION. THIS TEA IS ICE COLD; BUT IF I BLINDFOLD YOU AND TELL YOU IT'S SCALDING HOT BEFORE POURING IT ON YOU, IT WILL BURN YOU
