Some parents, in particular, like to tickle the soles of their baby's feet, at which time the baby will often laugh. So, what are the dangers of tickling the soles of your baby's feet?

The main reason for tickling the soles of babies' feet is to avoid affecting the baby's nerves, causing excessive nerve excitement, which is harmful to the nervous system. Of course, there's nothing wrong with briefly tickling the soles of your feet. You can give your baby appropriate support and touch, which is beneficial to his growth.

Why do feet itch when they are tickled?

When I play or jump or play with children, I like to tickle other people's armpits and other itchy places, the most common ones are armpits and soles of the feet. But if you scratch yourself you won't feel any itch. Why does it itch when someone else scratches you but not when you scratch yourself?

Why do we feel itchy? That’s because there are abundant nerve endings in the soles of the feet or armpits, so we feel ticklish when others tickle us. So why aren't you afraid of itching when you scratch yourself? Research has found that this is an ancient conditioned reflex. In ancient times, in order to avoid being hunted by wild beasts, important parts of the body formed a defense system that responds to the outside world. These areas are rich in nerve endings, and once they are hurt, you will not be able to move flexibly.

When you scratch yourself, your body's reaction does not harm you and the defense alarm is lifted, so you don't feel itchy. When someone else scratches you, your body feels threatened and does not want to be touched by others and feel itchy.
