Why do goosebumps tingle?
In: Biology
“Goosebumps” are formed when the muscles connected to the base of your body hair contract. This causes the hairs to stand up. When the hairs are up they are more easily touched, bent, or moved by air currents, etc. Moving the hair triggers a nerve receptor at the base of the hair. This nerve stimulation is what causes the tingling sensation
