Why Does a Paper Cut Hurt So Much?

Have you ever been seriously injured in the classroom or in the library? That might sound like an odd question with an obvious answer, but we bet you have!

You wouldn't think that a flimsy piece of paper could inflict such sharp pain on the human body, but of all life's little annoyances, paper cuts are one of the worst.

While not overly serious in the grand scheme of things, they sure provide a lot of pain for such a minor injury. So why do paper cuts hurt so much, even if they don't pierce the skin?

The extreme pain felt when something injures your fingers is simply the result of evolution working as it should

Why do paper cuts hurts so much? 



There Are few reasons, First our fingers and hands are loaded with sensitive nerves these nerve endings are called nociceptors when you get a paper cut.. The nerves send pain signals to your brain plus, a paper cut is not a clean cut, If you look at the edge of paper under a microscope.. 

You'll see it's jagged, sort of like shark teeth this leads to messier, more painful wounds. Lastly, paper is made of wood and chemicals so, that wood and chemical combination can get stuck in the skin In some cases, it may even lead to infection..which can irritate the cut and bother you for days, 

Next time you get a paper cut... be sure to wash the wound and put a band-aid on it, you'll be thankful if you did.
