So I was in my home ec. class when I noticed 2 of my friends with ice on the top of their hands. They took it off and proceeded to tell me that when you have salt on your skin then set an ice cube on top if it with salt on top of the ice cube it gets painful. I wanted to see who could do it the longest so they put it on their other hands and we did it at the same time. They eventually pulled it off in pain and I sat there, feeling proud of myself for being tougher about it. I left it on for another minute than them too. They were breaking out in laughter eventually so I attempted to pull it off but it was merged with my skin.
I freaked out and ran my hand under water. What I saw when the ice cube fell off freaked the forget out of me. All 5 kids freaked the out and ran out so they wouldn't get caught for doing it to me. The area under the ice cubes were extremely white, like snow and my hand was was as hard as a rock. It has no feelings in it whatsoever and my skin was all forgeted up. Eventually it thawed off and blistered up. I still don't have feeling in that area now and my hand is turning purplish red. I think I have frostbite and the only thing I can feel is a faint stinging sensation. :c
tl;dr: Ice + salt on skin = frostbite fuuuuu. Now read it.
Anyone else hear about this?
