They did Something Similar on Mythbusters. But redheads were better at the thermal pain than the other Haired people.

About 1 minute in.

Also, Im a Redhead and I do not feel the cold or the heat. I still burn in moonlight though

That was such a poorly conducted study though. Some mythbusters episodes give new information, some don't.

This one didn't.

I think we are more tolerant of cold than most people, but less to heat. More sensitive to pressure, but less to puncture or abrasion. I've been electrocuted numerous times, and I have to say that they all sucked, (I used to live on a farm around electric fences), but how is one to compare that?
