Can someone really die when you get tickled to hard/much ?
If tickling is so dangerous how come can we not defend ourselfs against it and if we can how ???

And why can i tickle someone else but not myself i dont get it could you enlighen me please ???????

[Ethel]

No you can't die from being tickled.

You can't tickle yourself because your brain knows what you are going to do and is prepared for it.

Yes, but my brain knows if someone ELSE is tickling me and therefore I am prepared for it......but it still tickles!!!

[Petal~flower]

I wee myself if I am tickled too much.

[Pirate1]

It's a primal thing. We are responding to a physical threat, except we know it's a play threat, so our response is to still feel threatened but respond by laughing. It's the animal part of our brain which triggers this response.....that also explains why we can not tickle ourselves into laughing.
