When I’m in the shower, my body can acclimate to hot water in a matter of mins. But when I’m outside and the temperature is hot, my body starts to sweat and I become uncomfortable no matter how long I’m expose to the heat. Why?
In: Biology
I think it’s skin temperature vs body temperature. There are different nerve cells monitoring those. Skin temperature cells call the brain and warn that things are getting hot, and the brain should take care cause there might be burn danger. Brain says that it’s cool, no one is getting burned, so nothing to worry about.
Meanwhile, a completely different system says “hey, I’m having trouble keeping core body temp from getting too hot” the brain can’t just not worry about it. It’s not a warning of a possible problem to come, it is in itself a problem.
