Re: A biologist writes
And I was only talking from a neurological point of view. The effect on the rest of the body is somewhat akin to being microwaved whilst stood under a sun lamp. There's probably a sweet spot in the dosage that will cause the neurological death before heat death, but I'm not volunteering to find out where that is. Suffice it to say that I don't know if you'd be writhing in pain akin to sunburn or not before you passed out, then stopped breathing. As you don't tend to feel your skin burning from intense sun until 6 hours or more later, then I suspect you'd just be feeling a bit hot and blistery and thinking you're definitely going to be peeling tomorrow before you zonked.
