Okay...Some people I know claim that they get hot really fast and others that they get cold very fast. Like for example this one lady I know had nine blankets on during the summer...It was like 90 degrees out. So why is there that difference? Is there any real difference? Any help would really be appericated...Thanx
Answer:
Gland problems can make a person more sensitive to temperature changes. Many older women suffer from hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), and one major symptom of this disorder is sensitivity to cold. I wouldn't be surprised if this were the case with the old woman you saw; she may also have had other medical problems that made her feel cold.
Alternately, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid gland) can cause sensitivity to hear. A person whose body does not produce much sweat can also overheat easily, because their body is less efficient at cooling itself off.
I'm one of those people that get hot really fast. Everyone thinks I'm crazy for wanting to stay out of 80 degree wheather. It's just a way for people to describe their temperature sensitivity. It's just how it is. Everyone's different. That's all.
I think it's just a preference of being cold vs being hot. Also, it's what you get used to, your body adapts.
I live in Miami, but I'm up north for the summer, and I'm cold here even though it's near 90 degrees. I'm wearing long pants and long sleeves to stay warm and comfortable.
Beyond that, as far as medical reasons, some people do have poor circulation, and that can cause their extremities (hands, feet, fingers, toes, ears, nose, etc) to be cold.
We'll weight will make a difference but nine blankets in 90 degree weather is not good. maybe their sick or have very bad blood circulation or both.
To scientifically eliminate all logic from your statement, I will make one statement of fact, and I will state one inference of conclusion.
The average human weighs between 140-190 pounds. FACT
Human blood (about 8 pints per human) makes up only 20% of a person's total composition. WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER 80% YOU MORON. (inference).
End of answer--see below for emotional comforters for those who believe in religion.
Hey, its ok. Cold blood technically could mean more than that. Technically, since everyone has blood, we sorta all could be cold-blooded, like amphibians and reptiles. Technically, every biology book ever written could be wrong. We could all be made by this invisible super-diety, or god, who plans everything out, and we all have purpose and life is infinite and that death is not "the end" but its merely a passing. Technically, all our family members who died and we're depressed about, really aren't nonexistant, they are "waiting for us in heaven--a place that is magic and life is perfect".
