Anesthesia 2
Anesthesia 2 : A loss of sensation or feeling. Anaesthesia is an alternate spelling (Brit). Anesthesia (or "anesthetics") is often used deliberately by doctors and dentists to block pain and other sensations during surgical procedures. Treatment for pre- or postoperative pain is called analgesia. MSDS Relevance: Exposure to certain chemicals or anesthetics such as nitrous oxide may reduce your ability to feel pain. That may sound great, but this presents a serious hazard. Imagine having no sensations of pain in your everyday life -- you might not notice that you have put your hand on a hot stove and suffered third degree burns until you smelled the charred flesh. Ugh!
