The skin has many different parts and layers. Lately in class we have been talking about how some people can feel more pain than others. I wanted to know what would happen if someone couldn't feel pain at all which is why I wrote this. Around a million people have a condition, known as congenital insensitivity to pain, causing them to not feel physical pain. This causes self harm without knowing an injury has occurred. Often caused by a defective gene the condition allows the patient to put their hand in boiling water and not feel pain. This is bad because the body is being burned and does not pull away from the cause of the burning. The condition starts at birth and can sometimes lead to young death due to injuries.
Here is where I got my info: click here.
I think that you described congenital insensitivity very well.

ReplyDeleteGood post! Do you know how common or rare this condition is? Or a percentage of how many people have it?
ReplyDeleteI like how you described a situation.
ReplyDeleteAbout 11 families have been affected by it
ReplyDeleteI like how you explained everything! It sort of makes me sad though, because I have a best friend who has this condition. Thank you for telling me about this; I'll be sure to let my friend and his family know what it is.
