Is it true?
Question:
Answers:
Some people will throw up when this is done. This is actually part of a test that can be performed on someone in a coma to determine how severely their brain is damaged. Ice cold water is irrigated into their ear, and then depending on which way their eyes move one can determine how severely the brain has been damaged.
People not in a coma will often get very sick and possibly throw up. The cold water affects the balance centers in your inner ear and makes you very dizzy.
Well, think about it. Have you ever had the shower turn cold when you are washing your hair? You get ice cold water in your ears. Do you throw up? I don't.
NO!
