Experiencing microscopic tissue damage before the pain hits

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Nociception strictly refers to the biological alarm wires actively detecting structural damage, which operates completely independently from the actual experience of pain. You can physically burn your hand, and the nociceptors will scream at the internal processor before the agony even registers. The tissue registers the violent damage milliseconds before you actually feel the terrible consequences.
