Reply to comment by Nyrin in Was reading something related to Rock Salt mining. In places like the Himalayas where rock salt mining is done in cold temperatures, a lot of miners report burns. Why is it so that salt burns in a colder surroundings? Would it be the same reason why the salt ice challenge was so dangerous? by vvdmoneymuttornot

Thank you, there's a lot of great information I your response. "eutectic frigorific mixture" is quite a fascinating concept. But can you explain a bit more of what you meant by "... frostburn with no sensitivity to know you're even being burned"? Why do we sense this phenomenon differently than other types of burns?
