I had an interesting moment of "What? You mean some people DON'T?" this weekend.

[Poll #1308075]

My answer to both of these is "Duh! Doesn't EVERYBODY?" (In the case of mosquitos, how else do you know to swat them?) These are not small sensations for me. They are obvious and can be startling. Last weekend I learned that there are people for whom this is not the case. I was pretty surprised.

At the vet clinic, it's obvious that some animals feel the needles while others do not. That also seems very strange to me.

I feel needles way more than mosquito bites, but I definitely feel both. Yuck.

I REALLY feel shots that take a long time to give, and also blood draws - those REALLY, REALLY hurt.

Yeah, these two poll questions are showing distinctly different shapes in the response bar-graphs. It seems that needles are more dramatic than mosquito bites.

Some shots don't really hurt much -- I mean, I feel 'em, but whatever -- and some are truly nasty. Injections into nerves fall into the nasty category.
