Hot or Cold??????????????????????

Ok....I know that hot and cold alike can make your body numb. Which one can make your body numb faster? I know cold basically gets you so cold that you feel nothing. I also know that hot pretty much burns your nerve endings so you can't feel anything. So which one makes you numb faster????....

    well hot will leave you with a burn that you will feel your skin cells dying which is very painful. If you really want to be numb, ice is the best way

    cold is basically the quickest way to numb your body down. use a cold substance (ice, ice pack, etc.) and elevate the area you want to numb.
