I’ve heard of children with a disease that makes them invulnerable to pain (sounds like a quality of a Bond-villain) — and they have a much harder life than you’d think. They don’t feel pain, so they don’t notice when they’ve seriously hurt themselves.

They have to be watched constantly, undergo continual medical testing to make sure they haven’t seriously injured themselves without noticing — many have multiple broken bones, burns, cuts, etc. Pain, while horrible, is there for a reason — its an indicator of a problem.

“Naked Mole-Rats”

That’s a euphemism for “Democrat.” And they are immune to pain.

My mole rat tells me that he actually feels my pain — but I’m pretty sure he’s lying.

The rodents exhale high levels of carbon dioxide, and in such tight, poorly ventilated spaces it builds up in tissues, making them more acidic.

Algore declares the mole rat to be second species to be wiped out to prevent global warming. Humans are the first on the list.

I bet the Russians already know this and have probably tested it on soldiers for combat.
Hopefully it can researched and be a new pain relief medicine, something non addicting.

“Naked mole rats”
They like to be called “progressives”.

... live in cramped, oxygen-starved burrows some six feet underground...

Sounds like my office.

I thought science thought the only creatures impervious to pain were human babies during abortion.

"They're the nicest, sweetest animals I've ever worked with — they look frightening, but they're very gentle," said neurobiologist Thomas Park at the University of Illinois at Chicago"

And then we injected them with acid.
