Question: What is "Brain Freeze"!?
I am sitting here slurpping an Artic Blast from Dairy Queen!. Why do you get "Brain Freeze"!? Has anybody ever died from it, it hurts SOOO bad! Sometimes it's my head, sometimes it's my chest!? Anybody else!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
This "freeze" sensation is caused by the blood in the affected area cooling super rapidly and then traveling to nearby area (brain, chest, throat) where the rapid drop in temperature causes moderate to extreme pain!. The pain is actually a response by the brain thinking that the body is in danger from the cold so it opens up the blood vessels to allow greater blood flow (and hopefully continued warmth to the areas)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's not your brain that freezes, it's the nerves at the back of your mouth and throat!. For some reason, the brain seems to displace the sensation!.
No, it can't kill you!. Just alternate between your slurpee and a hot drink!. or sip the slurpee very slowly, so there's not so much of it passing those nerves at once!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
