Hi, I just have a fairly simple question to ask. What is the
mechanism of function of anaesthetics and Xylocaine in
particular? Specifically, I am interested to know how Xylocaine
"freezes" skin and tissues on contact (ie surface contact) and
how it "freezes" nerves and tissues on injection. As I am just
a third year science undergrad with some medical knowledge,
please don’t soar high above my head with complex descriptions.
Thanks for any help!

my opinions aren’t worth the electrons they’re made of
and certainly not those of my employer.
