Do You Physically Get Cold Feet When You're Scared? | MythBusters

The saying "getting cold feet" implies that fear and hesitation produce a physical response in your extremities, and Kari, Tory and Grant decided to find out if that's literally true by subjecting each other to their genuine personal fears while thermal cameras and temperature sensors measured exactly what their feet were doing throughout — Tory strapped into an aerobatic plane with a stunt pilot who proceeded to demonstrate every terrifying maneuver in the repertoire, Grant sitting motionless while tarantulas were placed directly on his head for two full minutes, and Kari confronted with a buffet of unusual edible insects and required to eat at least two of them, and all three were measured before, during, and after to find out whether human physiology is actually doing something measurable when it says it has cold feet.
