Ask HN: Cold water over femoral arteries to cool oneself down?

1 pointsby maksimurover 1 year ago
I&#x27;ve come accross the following supposed trick on HN: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=14590669<p>Does it work and is it any different than running cold water over the whole body?

The generic idea is cooling &quot;pulse points&quot;, i.e. places in your body where the blood flow is nearest to the skin.<p>Surely the femoral artery is one carrying a lot of blood, so cooling it is more &quot;efficient&quot; than whole body or other pulse points (you need less water).
