doll.mlinjo.comWhy Do We Get Goosebumps?
Have you ever felt cold or scared and noticed tiny bumps on your arms? Those are called goosebumps — but wait, what do geese have to do with this?
Let’s uncover the mystery of those funny little skin bumps!
🧬 Goosebumps Are a Body Reaction
Goosebumps happen when tiny muscles under your skin pull on your hair roots. When they pull, your hairs stand up and your skin gets bumpy.
This is your body’s way of saying, “Something’s happening!” — like when you feel:
✅ ❄️ Cold
✅ 😨 Scared
✅ 😍 Super excited (like hearing a powerful song!)
🐒 It Comes from Our Animal Ancestors
A long time ago, our ancestors had more body hair — like animals! When they got cold, their hairs stood up to trap warm air close to the skin. When they felt scared, the raised hair made them look bigger to scare away danger.
Even though we don’t have as much hair now, our bodies still remember how to do goosebumps!
And why “goose” bumps? Because the skin of a plucked goose looks just like it — bumpy! 🐔😄
So next time you get goosebumps, remember:
It’s your body’s way of reacting fast — like a secret superpower from the past! 🦸♀️💫
