Key takeaways.

1. Fingers are sensitive.

2. paper has a saw like edge.

3. paper cuts tears up skin so nerves are exposed to the world.

Not really a lot of substance to this article.

Speaking of saw like edge.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYfkhdKcEiE



4. No blood to make a scab, so pain receptors keep transmitting the pain signal.


This makes me wonder, does it help to make the cut a bit deeper then?


You're misrepresenting your point 3. The article talks about the kind of cuts that paper tends to make, and how it exposes nerves to the world differently than deeper cuts.


That video is awesome :D


Would be a great intro to a safety talk in shop class.


"paper cuting wood is wood cuting wood"
