Have you ever been tickled in pain — and I mean pain? Did you meet a tyrant who loved to make you joke and rub the ribs or axles? You undoubtedly chuckled against your will uncontrollably before you screamed, "Whom the heck will consider fun to wick?"

In fact it's not really fun to tickling. It may sound like a joke, but tickling is a legitimate method of torture, which can even lead to death in the most extreme cases. It is ideal for abussing, bullying, threatening, insulting or interrogating an person. Here we're not exaggerating: it's pure torment.

Of definition, it sounds strange. We 're used to hear many of the methods that governments use — and still use – to torture and extract information from victims.

Forced tickle may contribute to serious pain physical and emotional. The tickled person loses control of the body and the brain is nervous, fatigued and scared. And if it doesn't seem as harmful as getting violently manipulated by dots or a special computer to increase discomfort, it may lead to a violent death in certain situations regardless.

The writer Irene Thompson in her book A to Z of Pain and Abuse mentioned one of the most popular precautions about this unusual process. Throughout the Han Dynasty ( 206-220 AD), it was dubbed "the Chinese revolving torment" and performed much of it. It was seen as a discreet form of revenge for offenders and traitors because it left no trace and nearly always was able to recover fully. This method is thought to have been used at other times, but there is no general register to indicate cases of death. It is in essence an extraordinary finding. In Japan citizens were "compassionate" to tickle any suspect, according to another researchist and observer, Mark Schreiber. Visit https://tickle-torture.com

The foot of the perpetrator had been soaked in a type of salt mix and relaxed like a cow licked.
