- traeregan> “These findings could help explain what happens when the body’s thermoreceptors become impaired in ageing and disease.”> ...this new understanding of the body’s thermoreceptors could inform treatments for people struggling with thermal dysfunction.It would be amazing if this research also led to a treatment for the rare symptom of temperature reversal caused by ciguatera fish poisoning (ciguatoxin neurotoxins) overstimulating one's nerves. I am not personally afflicted but have friends who have been; one is still dealing with various symptoms many years later.
- redgrangeWill this help to better therapy for hyperhidrosis? I hope
- mrguyoramaIn this context, something fascinating is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_grill_illusionYou can artificially induce a burning pain sensation using alternating strips of mildly warm and mildly cold.Here William Osman of all people builds one of these and uses it on his friendshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yw67_k6oDQY
- ck2I have CNS and nerve damage from covid and my hands are basically my regulators nowI get Raynauds syndrome even in the summerBasically if my hands are warm, I am warm, if my hands are cold my entire body is coldalways wanted to try this Sony cooling device* https://www.sony.com.hk/reonpocket/2026/en/but wrist heater/cooler might also work* https://embrlabs.com/products/embr-wave-2
- arsWe still don't know how, like from a physics point of view, thermoreceptors detect temperature.
