This is actually positive

The nerves in your skin tell your brain that this is dangerous, it hurt us, and your brain tells you to move your hand away.

Answer:

Negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your neurons are messengers, when they sense how hot the stove is, they quickly send signals to your brain, your brain then understands the signals and in turn, makes you move your hand. Hope this helps!
