What is a boiled frog phenomenon?
482294
The boiled frog phenomonen is a metaphor for  society and human acceptance\n\nIt says that if you drop a frog into a pot of boiling water, the frog will frantically try to escape.  As with someone you put into a dangerous or uncomfortable situation...they will try to get away.\n\nIf you take that same frog, and place it in a pot of tepid water and then turn on the heat slowly, the frog will float their happily much as you would in a warm bath.  Because the situation is familiar and changes slowly it is more difficult to recognize as bad or dangerous. A long time passes before that same water is "HOT"  The frog slips into a stupor...cells begin shutting down and froggie is dead.\n\nIt is used in system thinking as a metaphor for society. \n\nSociety started out as a peacfully floating happy little frog...And then things began heating up...industry...economy...power struggles...world wars...and then the frog dies.\n\nMaybe we should turn down the heat...or get out of the pot before its too late!

they are called boils they are kind of like pimples but a little larger in some areas, apparently your allergic to some kind of mold,

Yes, that is likely poison. Frogs have that capability. You need to contact an emergency vet immediately.

c basically boiling of a liquid means the vapour pressure[pressure created at surface] equals the atmospheric pressure.the increase in vapour pressure is due to the fact that the kinetic energy of molecules movin thermal velocities because of increase in temp. therefore for some molecules the time taken by molecules to achieve this situation is faster as the molecules have diff forces of attraction .hence to break the forces and achieve the above situ. is diff for diff. liquids \n\n\nhope this is satisfactory any more queries  mail me

Eventually the liquid would boil

The Leidenfrost effect is a phenomenon in which a liquid, in near contact with a mass significantly hotter than its boiling point, produces an insulating vapor layer which keeps that liquid from boiling rapidly. This is most commonly seen when cooking; one sprinkles drops of water in a skillet to gauge its temperature—if the skillet's temperature is at or above the Leidenfrost point, the water skitters across the metal and takes longer to evaporate than it would in a skillet that is hot, but at a temperature below the Leidenfrost point. It has also been used in some dangerous demonstrations, such as dipping a wet finger in molten lead and blowing out a mouthful of liquid nitrogen, both enacted without injury to the demonstrator. There have been claims that the effect is also involved when walking on fire, but this contention remains controversial. The effect is also responsible for the ability of liquid nitrogen to skitter across lab floors, collecting dust in the process.\n\nIt is named after Johann Gottlob Leidenfrost, who discussed it in A Tract About Some Qualities of Common Water in 1756.\n\nTo demonstrate the Leidenfrost effect at home, just take a normal (not nonstick) clean frying pan and heat over a gas stove. Have a bowl of clean water handy. Every now and then, dip your fingers into the bowl of water and sprinkle a few drops onto the pan. Initially, as the temperature of the pan is below 100 °C, the water just flattens out and slowly evaporates. As the temperature of the pan goes above 100 °C, the water drops hiss on touching the pan and evaporate relatively quickly. Later, as the temperature goes past 250 °C / 428 °F, the Leidenfrost effect comes into play. On contact the droplets of water do not evaporate away so quickly. This time, they bunch up into small balls of water and skitter around, lasting much longer than when the temperature of the pan was much lower. This effect lasts pretty much until a much higher temperature causes any further drops of water to evaporate too quickly to cause this effect.\n\nThis works because, at temperatures above the Leidenfrost point (about 220 °C / 428 °F for water), when water touches the hot plate, the bottom part of the water vapourizes immediately on contact. The resulting gas actually suspends the rest of the water droplet just above it, preventing any further direct contact between the liquid water and the hot plate and dramatically slowing down further heat transfer between them. This also results in the drop being able to skit around the pan on the layer of gas just under it .\n\n(The Leidenfrost point may also be taken to be the temperature for which the hovering droplet lasts longest.)\n\n\nAlso visit this site, because it has links to other sites, one being an essay about the effects and demonstrations

Actually boils can be passed from one person to another. And it can be if you touch something that the boil has touched, example if someone sat on something and their boil touched it, then you sat on the same thing and your skin came in contact with the bacteria, then it could enter your system, especially if you had a scratch, cut or insect bite where the bacteria could get in.

First and most importantly, don't pop the boil yourself. It could get infected and cause way more trouble than you're prepared to deal with. Boils, just like pimples, are the body's way of excreting toxins and waste through the skin. The appearance of a boil usually means that there are more toxins in your body than normal and they need to be expelled. You need to deal with this boil and then begin to naturally treat your body to avoid future eruptions. There are a couple of links below that may help you choose a homeopathic remedy but for IMMEDIATE relief, you might want to see a doctor so that they can lance the boil. But keep in mind that lancing boils is painful and because of the puncturing of the skin before the boil has completely matured will most likely cause the bacteria to be pushed deeper into the skin therefore ensuring that it will reappear, maybe with more boils to accompany it. So that being said, you need to be sure bring the boil to a head. The second link gives great advice about how to treat a boil. For future reference though, taking vitamins daily to boost your immune system (multivitamin, echinacea, vitamin C, and vitamin B complex), drinking lots of water, and healthy eating will help your body fight off infection and expel wastes in a healthier (and less painful) way. Good luck!

Gotta be one of the weirdest phenomona in the world.\nDefies logic, but the answer is yes.\n\nhttp://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/General/hot_water.html has some info on the oddity!\n\nWish you well,\nGod bless,\nShane

When you boiled the water, you evaporated some of it. This increases the salt concentration in the water which alters the ph. Since it went toward the alkaline side, it probably increased the calcium salts in the water.

MILK BOILS OVER BE CAUSE WHEN IT APPROACHES THE BOILING POINT, IT FORMS A FILM WHICH DOES NOT LET STEAM ESCAPE. THE STEAM WILL FIND ITS OWN WAY.

Hello,\n\nI'll keep this short...Boil are caused for numerous reasons.\n\nHygiene could be one of them, boils are laos contagious for example if a person burst out the boil and doesn't take care of it like cleaning and putting a plaster on it, it wcould transfer to someone else...i didn't believe that but since speaking to a doctor and a dermatologist i reconsidered. \n\nThe natural stuff that i know works are\nturmeric powder\ngarlic\nvitamin a\nvitamin e\n\n......if u are pressed for time try some antibiotic may be topical as in a cream or a pill....but i think only docotrs can prescribe antibiotics....\n\nHope it helps...

Did you try boiling water?

The pH buffers used in a lab experiment can go "bad" at different rates depending on the way they're stored. If your buffer is always stored in a closed container, then the contamination is usually pretty low and the buffer can last for a long time. However if your buffer is constantly exposed to open air and moisture, the pH of your solution can vary quite a bit. I'm not sure if you are familiar with the effect of boiling "tap" water, but boiling the water gets rid of carbonic acid in the solution, similar to the acidity found in a soft drink. So over time, if a buffer is exposed to air, the buffer will tend to become more acidic if no other factors (contamination by other careless people in the lab for example :P) are present. Hope this helps!

Water is too hot, or you may have bad circulation.

THANK U GOD! finally a real question!\n\nThe tiny bubbles that form when water is heated to near boiling almost always consist of dissolved air leaving the water.

Your boiling yourself? Maybe you ate too much pudding.
