New cure for blushing
There are blushers and then there are blushers -- you know, the people who turn beet red and sweaty at the slightest provocation. If you happen to be of the latter category, then you might be pleased to hear that there is now a treatment for uncontrollable blushing. It turns out that blushing is actually caused by a nerve in the chest that runs along the second rib. When faced with embarrassment, confrontation or nervousness, this nerve triggers the flushing in the neck and face we know as blushing. Scientists have discovered that excessive blushing can actually be treated by cutting the nerve that starts the red-faced process.
Blushers be forewarned -- this cosmetic treatment doesn't come cheap.
