Olsen always trying to get an edge

I worked in a lab that did cryogenic preservation and we had 'hot tubs' at -180 C. It's cold, but cold, dry, still air of the vapor phase isn't all that bad for short periods of time (think of an igloo being 60 degrees) as long as you're not in contact with a surface that cold and/or wet and as long as there is air circulation (lid is open). It's actually rather refreshing, and I preferred it to working in the ice water or directly handling the stuff kept in the -80 freezers.

That said, you absolutely do not want bare skin to come into direct contact with the liquid nitrogen.

We literally have someone on the huddle for any question. Drs, lawyers, scientists,porn stars, you name it we got it. Zod should assemble his own A team.

On the contrary ... it is fine for liquid nitrogen to contact the skin due to its very low specific heat.  You don't want it 'ponding' on any part of your body or that will be trouble.  Otherwise, it makes for a 'cool' show. 

 

A cheap version of the cryogenics therapy that Olsen is doing ... is a frigid immersion pool.  However, that's the common man 's therapy where cost actually matters.

 

Just saying ...

$255 a month for unlimited uses here. I looked into it and decided on just cold showers

Right, but for the average person that's not common knowledge. Best to just avoid it.
