"Challenge" accepted.....


Challenge accepted…
But due to the low amount of natural insulation material covering the “Chrome Dome” (see above photo) I have elected to write a check instead of having somebody dumping some cold water on my head….

The check is written and ready to be mailed but instead to the ALS foundation, which I am sure is a fine effort to find a cure or treatment for ALS, I have decided to make the check out to the Point Pleasant Rescue Dive Team instead for I know of the team’s history of saving lives and public service…
At this time the pending amount of the check is $100 but I will increase the check an additional $50 for a total of $150 to the Dive Team if the following challenge is accepted and the correct answer is provided within the 24 hour time frame….
Challenge to the recent Dive Team Rescue Diver graduates
For an additional $50 donation to the Dive Team: Name the medical condition of when somebody is submerged in cold water and their heart rate is decreased considerably. This condition or “reaction” to the cold water has resulted in small children being revived after 20 to 30 minutes after drowning in cold water with little or no negative effects. Name this condition\reaction and describe what part of the body is involved causing this reaction to the cold water… (No calling Chief diver and buying him a 7-eleven 24oz. to get the answer)
