what would happen if you put your hand on the stove and got burnt, but put your hand back on 5 more times just to make sure it's actually hot?

If you put your hand on a hot stove and got burnt, it is a natural response to remove your hand from the stove to prevent further injury. However, if you choose to repeatedly put your hand back on the stove even after being burnt, you will continue to experience pain and potentially cause further damage to your skin and tissues.

Repeatedly exposing yourself to the source of the burn will not change the fact that it is hot and causing damage to your skin. In fact, each time you touch the hot surface, you are likely to make the burn worse, as the heat will continue to damage your skin and tissues.

Additionally, repeated exposure to the hot stove may lead to nerve damage, which can result in a loss of sensation in your hand, making it harder to recognize when you are in danger of burning yourself in the future.

It is important to listen to your body's natural responses to pain and remove yourself from harmful situations. In the case of a burn, it is best to seek immediate medical attention and follow proper first aid procedures to minimize damage and promote healing.

It would burn your hand causing it to lose touch and then you would not be able to feel the heat anymore due to the loss of touch
