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 know at least two people with diabetes who claim they don't feel the tiny insulin needle. Now that I've given myself subcutaneous injections of B12, with a needle designed for insulin, I can firmly state that I am NOT one of those people. I can't imagine not feeling it. My nervous system would have to not be working that day or something.
