A member asked:
Is it possible to literally 'tickle someone to death' ? if so, what would the cause of death be called ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Extreme tickling is of course uncomfortable for the victim and i can imagine a scenario in which it is so intense that the person loses consciousness from poor breath control. At which point the tickling ceases to be effective, breathing starts normally and the person revives.
