Skimming this thread has made me woozy. Before I pass out, I’d like to ask if losing the basic structural integrity of the skin would be enough to cause death, even without the shock and bleeding. I mean, skin is important for regulating body temperature, right? If you somehow missed most of your capillaries, but damaged a sufficient number of sweat glands and integumentary nerve endings, would that be enough to kill you?
One of the guys on Jackass paper-cut his tongue. It about killed me watching it.
He was referred to as The Fondler, IIRC. It’s been a while since I read that book…off to the library I go!
