Its an ice allergy - there is an actually medical name for it
but athletic trainers call it an ice allergy. I have the same
problem and I went to the Doctor and they told me just to take an
antihistamine before being in the cold for a extended period of
time. I know my friends who are athletic training majors have to
ask all the players if they have an ice allergy before they wrap
them in ice - so its not like its completely unheard of.

Does titanium dioxide sunblock cause problem for sensitive skin?
I notice whenever I use products w/Titanium Oxide, I break out
in hives. Any sort of contact, for example if my children have
lotion or sunblock on I might kiss them on their check and I will
break out on my lip.

What are contact forces?
Contact forces are defined as a force that can change or cause
the motion of an object by touching it. Between two objects, a
contact force acts at the point of contact.

What is used to cause friction?
Friction is caused whenever two surfaces come in contact and
slide against each other. Anything can cause friction.

What cause bridges to fail?
age, faulty construction, collision with another object,
whatever you think would cause it to break
Asked in Newtons Laws of Motion
When force is applied to an object but does not cause the object to move?
That will happen if the force applied is less than the limiting
value of the friction between the object and the surface that it is
in contact with.
Asked in Physics
Does glass break or crack with temperature changes?
When temperatures changes this can cause the molecules in an
object to contract [ at low temperatures ] or to expand [ high
temperatures ] . Glass is a fragile object and if the molecules in
glass contract or expand quickly this can cause the glass to break
. [SRM] .

What is the cause of friction and in what direction does it act with respect to the motion of a sliding object?
friction acts on materials that are in contact

What are arcing contacts?
Whenever an electrical contact is made or broken, an electrical
spark jumps through the air between the two contact points while
they are very close together but not yet, or not any longer,
touching. That spark jumping is an electrical arc and the event is
arcing contact.
The main cause of arcing is the property of a circuit to
maintain the continuity of the current, so whenever the contacts
separate to break the circuit the air (or any dielectric medium
that is used) ionises and continuity of the current is maintained,
at least momentarily.
Asked in Physics
What is the effect of friction to the movement of an object?
friction causes the object in motion to slow down and finally
stop. The natural condition of an object that is in motion is to
stay in motion. Only friction (the object in contact with another
object at rest) will cause the object in motion to lose its
motion.
Asked in Physics, Isaac Newton
What force that pulls an object and causes acceleration?
It is an attractive non-contact force.
Asked in Science, Physics
What causes an object to break on impact?
Internal stress exceeds the strength of the material.
The cause of the stress is that the "leading edge" of the object
stops while the "trailing edge" is still moving.
Asked in Physics
Why does glass break in the microwave?
Microwaves do not heat evenly. If one part of the glass object
is heated more than others, and if the object had some kind of
stress fracture (which may well be invisible to the naked eye) the
expansion of the heated part may cause cracks to form, and break
the object.
Asked in BMW 3-Series
Why does your fan blade break on my 94 BMW 325is?
The fan blade will break on a 94 BMW 325i if an object has
falling into the fan. This will cause the blades to strike it at
high speed and shatter.

What does a force cause an object to do?
An unbalanced force will cause an object to accelerate.
Asked in Electricity and Magnetism
What happens wheharges in an uncharged metal object rearrang without direct contact with the charged object?
In that case, the fact that the charges are rearranged - there
is an electric dipole - can cause the charged object and the object
with the zero net charge (but with an electric dipole) to attract
one another.
Asked in Science, Physics, Isaac Newton
What are the forces that do not cause an object to move?
Static forces do not cause an object to move.
Asked in Science, Physics, Newtons Laws of Motion
What are unbalanced forces and when do they occur?
Unbalanced forces means that the net force - the sum of all
forces on an object - is not equal to zero. This will cause an
acceleration. Whenever there are forces, there is a possibility
that they are unbalanced.
Why do you bleed?
whenever you cut yourself, it cuts a the blood vessels and
that's what causes it to bleed from the wound. sometimes you may
not get a cut but still break blood vesels and cause a bruise.

How do you get a bruise on purpose?
Any hard contact of flesh with a hard blunt object, either
purposefully or not, will cause small blood vessel rupture and
bruising.
Asked in Science, Physics, Isaac Newton
What is a force that can cause an object to change its speed and direction?
A basic physics answer for this is that a net force (or
unbalanced force) will cause an object to accelerate, that
is, cause the object to change its speed and/or direction.
Asked in Global Warming, Air Pollution, Ozone Layer
What cause the ozone layer to break?
CFC's cause ozone to break. They react with ozone and deplete
it.
Asked in Science, Thunderstorms and Lightning, Wildfires
How does lightning cause a wildfire?
Lighting is very hot and when it makes contact with an object
such as a tree on a dry place, heat rises very quickly and fires
start.
Asked in Medication and Drugs
Why are disintegrants added in solid dosage forms of drugs?
Disintegrants help a drug to break or disintegrate. They swell
when they come into contact with water and this will cause the
tablet to burst.
