A reflex is a body reaction to an external stimulus. I'm scared - I shudder. It hurts - I pull my hand away from the fire. I am pleased - I laugh or smile. It's a simple, understandable response. But what happens when the body does not understand what is wrong with it, whether the touch is threatening or caring, hurting or making feel good, like never before? What happens if you find a stimulus that can cause opposite reactions at the same time?
