Brain Freeze Is A Real Summertime Phenomena –Dave’s Diary

Too much of a good cold thing feels mighty bad! The brain freeze is a unique kinda pain!Slurp that slurpy too quickly and it’s a biting “brain freeze.” Gulp that grape Arctic Rush too fast and the next rush you feel is a “brain freeze”. Eat that ice cream "anything" 

and everything stops due to “brain freeze.”

Fortunately, scientists are finally tackling this vexing problem, which is officially designated as an “ice cream headache” under the International Classification of Headache Disorders.

Interestingly, those who suffer from migraines are most at risk for the condition. (Brain freeze, scientists found, is caused by cold solids or liquids passing over the upper palate of the mouth or back wall of the pharynx).

The best way to combat brain freeze (other than ditching the cone, which clearly isn’t a viable option), is by jamming your tongue up to the roof of your mouth to warm things up, or drinking a warm liquid. (The Daily Mail)
