Comfortably Numb is a new cooling device works like an ice pack. It produces a rapid chemical reaction that cools and numbs patients’ skin in seconds.
Despite Injections, Vaccine and Serum, five-year-old Girl Dies of Rabies in Chandigarh
Doctors warn that anti-rabies treatment for hand and face injuries should be immediate as the rabies virus affects the brain very quickly.

When the device is activated, the two ingredients mix and an endothermic reaction cools down the metal plate of the Comfortably Numb. When pressed against the skin, the ice cold metal cools the skin and makes it much less susceptible to pain.
The team designed the device to be single-use rather than reusable because cleaning it for each use and refilling is time-consuming and complicated. The device does not have a built-in syringe, which is the next step for the students.
Adult-Derived Stem Cell Injection May Soon Reverse Age-Related Vision Loss
A single shot of adult-derived human cells resulted in 130 days of preserved vision in laboratory rats, which roughly equates to 16 years in humans.
