I have a slurpee addiction. I have heard of people getting "brain freezes" from them, but I have never had one. Can you please tell what it is like to have one? And if you know, what causes a brain freeze?

Answer:
Hi Kaytee!
Brain freeze, or its given scientific name Spheno Palatine Gangleoneuralgia is a term used to describe a form of cranial pain or headache which people are known to sometimes experience after consuming cold beverages or foods such as ice cream, slurpees, or margaritas, particularly when consumed quickly.
In laymans terms, it is the result of the constriction of blood vessels in the stomach when put in contact with cold fluids. The (pain) that you feel in your head is actually not occuring in your head at all but is diverted from your stomach to a nerve in your head which usually recieves this particular pain. It's a process is similar to that of someone having pain in their left arm after having a heart attack. A much more scientific explaination is included in the link below.
I haven't had one for a long time, but when I was a kid and used to get slurpees at 7/11, I would. The shock of suddenly putting a bunch of ice in your mouth just hurts your head. It doesn't really have anything to do with your brains. It feels like your brains are freezing though, but it's just the top of your mouth area that's getting really cold.
