What are goosebumps?
I have been having it for the third day usually only on the right side of my body particularly the right arm.
When I was growing up they say if you have goosebumps, there are spirits around you. But I am sure there is a physical explanation I yet need to research on.
I hope your day is going well and do not forget to enjoy each breathing moment.

OH! I don’t like the sound of it! On the right arm? I’m concerned.

I was told as a child, along with the “spirits”, (I think many cultures have that myth…), that they were our body’s reaction to a quick temperature change, internally… It’s why they occur so often in cold weather… Perhaps you’re sleeping in a room that’s cold? Don’t know, but, it has always seemed a logical explanation, that we get them when we feel cold, and our body is changing internally to adjust; they are the physical sign of what is happening inside…
It may be an urban myth, as I never checked it out, because it made sense… Some people report getting them when scared, which is where the phrase, ‘getting chills’ comes from, I think…
I’ve never heard of them being a sign of anything serious, other than serious fright…

It is the third day and it comes and goes. I do not think I am cold. Hmmmm maybe quick temperature change? Here in CA one time it is too sunny and hot, then later it is gloomy. Yeah, maybe physical explanation it is. I get scared when I think of myths like spirits and all. LOL! Thank you gigoid for dropping by!!! : ) Glad to meet you.

gigoid,
The phrase “goose bumps” derives from the phenomenon’s association with goose skin.
Hence, A goose walked over my grave!

Aye, thanks for clarifying; it’s what I thought it was, sort of…. There are some folks who believe the bumps DO come when one’s death is preordained; the same folks usually also believe the Earth is flat, though, so, I don’t put much stock in it….

It’s interesting to learn about how words and expressions we use today evolved over time… but, then, is there anything that ISN”T interesting, one way or another? Nope…. not in my world…
See ya, miladies….

“gigo” is the very first computer acronym, meaning “garbage in, garbage out” referring to the computers inability to do anything but what it is told. the “id” was added to indicate a computeroid, one who is always aware of the principle of ‘gigo’…
Hence, gigoid, the dubious
I picked it when I went to computer school in 1997, to learn to build, maintain, and use them….
I already had the sense of irony….

It’s one of those conditions that come and go and for which there is hardly any satisfactory medical explanation. It could be due to the weather or stress or a combination of them or even to an allergy. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. As for the spirits being around you I doubt. Nobody has ever proved the existence of spirits and as a rule superstitious people see spirits in everything.
