Freezing

Where in the world do they refer to local anesthesia as "freezing tissue"? I have never heard that term before (I'm in the US). Sbreheny (talk) 09:32, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In Canada. Have changed it to "decreased feeling". Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 13:35, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
