If the blood vessels contract due to the cold water, do you think rubbing my forehead with a muscle relief cream like Deep Heat or Tiger balm will prevent this contraction when my head hits the cold water?

‘Bout the carotid artery theory, the theory does not fit with PGN.

The artery is warm, the blood is warm, the throat is warm, the esophagus is warm, so how can something get the esophagus so cold that the throat gets so cold that the artery gets soo cold, that the blood gets soooo cold that the brain freezes? Its a stretch. It also cant be the cold food in the stomach for the same reason, our b ody warms food up (or cools it down) before it gets to the stomach. Try an experiment, put an ice pack on the side of your throat, do you get a brain freeze? Now hold an ice cube on the roof of your mouth, do you get a brain freeze? You be the judge As forthe head being sumerged in cold water, again look at the anatomy involved, we have loads of nerves just under the scalp on our heads, and loads of blood vessals, that is why a head injury, even a small one, bleeds so much. Your head being in the cold water so long encourages those lood vessels to contract, causing the pain. Not your artery, if your blood (from the artery) to your brain got that cold, you would have a bigger problem thana headache.
