You've just sat down in math class and a cute boy takes the seat right next to you. You can't help but notice his perfectly styled hair and dazzling smile. As you glance up your eyes meet his; the prettiest blue eyes you have ever seen. You start to worry: "I hope my hair looks okay... Do I have anything in my teeth? My sweater has a hole in it, do you think he'll notice??" Your heart starts pounding and you can feel your cheeks starting to heat up... Oh no, not again!! You can practically feel your face being painted a nice shade of crimson and you quickly try to burry your face in your notebook before he notices your embarrassment. Why does this always happen to you?? It's not fair!
Blushing is not only universal, but also exclusive to humans. Why do we blush? What triggers it? Why do some people blush more than others? These are all questions that can be simply answered by science!
