Is it true that compressed air can give you frostbite when sprayed on skin?


Just curious.

Yes. When it expands, the air gets much colder, and the combination of cold air and high velocity can cause frostbite.

Yes.

I hope u werent asking cause u wanted to do it lol

Yes, and just to warn you if you know of any young kids - many teens are inhaling the stuff to get a quick high - some of them die because it freezes their lungs.

Yes. I use those compressed air cans to dust off my computer keyboard. I was curious one day and turned the can upside down and sprayed it on my leg to see how cold it really gets. I have a permanent scar now. It gets very cold, trust me.

If you hold it there long enough. Have you ever blown up a pool float? feel how cold it is when your done.
