Since these are skin receptors (ie the receive stimulus from the environment) it would be very dangerous. You would not feel heat, cold, pain or for that matter pleasure. Everything would "feel" like your hands or feet were "asleep". Not a safe way to live.

Without being able to feel anything, it could be very dangerous! Some examples...

- Imagine standing in front of an open fire, or leaning on a stove element, and not feeling anything until the skin burnt off!

- You could walk through the snow and not tell you were getting frostbite

- You couldn't feel the ground under your feet, so you might find yourself unsteady, or walking on broken glass without noticing

- You could lose a lot of blood if you couldn't feel the pain of getting cut

- If you were stuck in darkness underground, you wouldn't feel the breeze coming from the way out

- You wouldn't feel your pants falling down in public until you tripped over them!

Plus the other (non-dangerous) things - hugs & kisses just wouldn't feel the same!

the person's perception of touch (including heat and surface sensations) are nonexistent. Deep pressure or any stimulation past the cutaneous layer are intact however the inability to sense stimulation of the skin can leave them vunerable to burns, cuts, or scrapes without the natural reaction to pull away or flee for self preservation. Therefore, the person can easily become severly injured without being aware of it occuring at all.
