Tickling - amusement or torment?
Almost everyone is familiar with such entertainment as "tickling". Parents love to tickle their child to try to make him laugh. Growing up, some amusement lovers begin to tickle others, watching how a person forcedly laughs and at the same time escapes from the tickling.
What's most interesting about tickling is the fact that, despite the reflexive laughter, it is still unpleasant for a person to experience prolonged tickling. Why?
Tickling tends to act not in all places of the human body. In the process of tickling, receptors of the skin are activated in the most delicate areas of the skin. And if a light touch on delicate skin leads to pleasant sensations, then annoying irritation of sensitive receptors causes a feeling that is more similar to a pain effect. This painful effect is avoided by the person being tickled.
The question naturally arises: "What does laughter have to do with it?" And laughter while tickling remains a mystery even today. Some scientists suggest that laughter is, from the point of view of the work of the human psyche, incipient crying, but quickly interrupted. Of course, we are talking about reflex laughter, and not about laughter caused by a comical situation.
It has been observed that tickling provokes rapid breathing, palpitations, and, in general, disperses blood through the body. From the point of view of toning up the body, tickling is certainly useful. But from the standpoint of getting pleasure, tickling may not turn out to be entertainment, but a torment for a person who does not tolerate skin irritations, or rather a person with very delicate and sensitive skin.
While having fun with tickling, it is worth remembering that such entertainment can lead to malfunction of the heart muscle and even death. No wonder there is an expression: "Tickle to death"!
