You can experience a "tingle of excitement" and having the face lotion make your face tingle might be a good thing. Tingling can even be associated with sexual pleasure. | |

| Mar 16, 2018 at 16:06 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | People usually speak of having a sore or ticklish throat. Tingling is a sensation caused by (unpredictable) low-level firing of sensory nerve inputs (below the level of pain). Which may be associated with "numbness" because if neurons are firing unpredictably you can't tell whether whatever you "feel" through them represents actual contact, heat, vibration, or whatever. Note that the relatively uncommon verb usage to ting means to make a brief ringing sound - nothing to do with to tingle, tingling. | |
