Throughout the medical community, there are constantly questions being asked and problems being solved. From “How can we cure cancer?” to “How does this disease begin,” there is never a shortage of topics to discuss. Despite this fact, there is one question that seems to have eluded researchers for years. That question is whether or not it would be chilly with no skin on.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like without any skin? Would people see right through you? Would people always be looking at you? Today we’re going to look into the first question.

To answer the question of whether or not you would be chilly with no skin on, we must first look at the basics. With no skin, surely you’d be cold. Your skin provides a layer of protection from the outside. That means if it’s cold out, you’d get cold very quickly right? Well, I’m not completely sure about that. With your skin all gone, your bones would be exposed. However, those long white structures that support you may not be able to get cold. Think about it… Your skin has the nerves that sense your environment and its changes. With no skin, your bones would be exposed, but could they even get cold at that point? Without your skin and nerves, I don’t think you would be able to be cold. Your bones can be cold, but they cannot make you cold.

With all that being said, let’s look at this argument a little deeper. Let’s hear a firsthand statement from a professional doctor named John. John states, “It would not be chilly with no skin on due to an organism’s low chance of survival with no skin, the very little existence of touch receptors on the inside of the body, and material that makes up the human skeletal system.” Wow! John brings up some really good points. Besides what I already mentioned, the fact that an organism may not even survive with no skin is an important factor to consider. This also brings up a new question. Do you get chilly upon death?

The very notion that someone would feel chilly upon death is quite silly in my opinion. Sure, a body may become cold, but like I’ve said before, cold does not equate to being chilly. At its very nature, chilly is a feeling, not a state of being. You aren’t chilly, you are cold. All the same, you don’t feel cold, you feel chilly. When dead, the body becomes cold, but because of the lack of nerves and receptors, it cannot be chilly.

To test the theory relating to the lack of skin and the feeling of being chilly, I decided to conduct an experiment… With his permission, I removed Dr. John’s skin. I had hoped that by removing his skin, we could finally answer the burning question. Unfortunately, Dr. John passed away in the experiment and our question remains sadly unanswered. It seems we may never know whether it would be chilly with no skin on.

Recently after the experiment, there have been reports of John’s ghost haunting people. He has been reported to mess with people by making the sound “Oooooooh!” Please, if you have seen his ghost, report any information directly back to me. I’d like to try to revive John to conduct further research. It will be a hard task, but such an important question deserves all the attention. To help with the search, I’ve made a poster and put it all over. 

It reads:

Have you seen the Ghost of John?

Long, white bones with the skin all gone!

Oooooooh!

Wouldn’t it be chilly with no skin on?
