Mint Gum has metanol in it which is like a cooling agent and it tricks your nerves into thinking its something cold like an ice cube in your mouth. And then you drink the water, and your brain thinks its extra cold and it just feels like you swallowed alot of ice.

Answer:

The flavouring substances in gum e.g. mint etc., cause localised vasodilation (the veins and capillaries in your throat dilate). The tonsils at the back of your throat in particular are highly vascular. When you drink icewater, this causes sudden and severe vasocostriction (a vasopressor response to cold immersion), which results in pain. You find the same effect if you drink something very cold after drinking something hot, and the same principle applies in 'ice-cream headaches'. It's the relative degree of change in vasopressor state that results in that feeling of burn or freshness.

Que opinas sobre la preveccion de infecciones de trensmisiòn sexual en los jovenes ?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Una enfermedad venérea o de transmisión se.xual es una enfermedad infecciosa que generalmente solo se puede contraer si uno entra en contacto con alguien que ya tiene la enfermedad venérea. A diferencia de otras enfermedades infecciosas, que pueden transmitirse, por ejemplo, a través de los estornudos, las ETS generalmente se transmiten a través del contacto se.xual.

Las enfermedades venéreas pueden ser causadas por organismos muy diferentes: espiroquetas, cocos, bacilos o virus. Por ejemplo, el patógeno de una ITS puede ubicarse en el moco de la vagina, o en el semen o detrás del prepucio. Cuando se hace contacto con una pareja, el patógeno se puede transmitir. Esto a veces requiere una herida en el lado del receptor, pero no siempre es así. Muchas enfermedades venéreas también pueden transmitirse de otras formas, por ejemplo, mediante el uso de drogas por vía intravenosa, el contacto íntimo pero no se.xual o mediante transfusiones de sangre.  

La fidelidad mutua entre parejas que no están infectadas con una ETS es una forma de evitar la transmisión y propagación de enfermedades de transmisión se.xual. Los métodos para reducir en gran medida la posibilidad de transmitir ETS son usar un condón en cada contacto en el que el pene juega un papel. Sin embargo, estos métodos no garantizan que no se transmitirá una ITS. La única forma realmente segura es no tener relaciones se.xuales con un portador de una ETS y, por lo tanto, no tener contacto se.xual si uno es portador de una ETS.
