Answer 1

Patients diagnosed with congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) suffer from abnormal pain and temperature perception, absence of sweating (anhidrosis), mental retardation, fever during hot weather and loss of unmyelinated fibers with a decrease in size of small myelinated fibers. Body temperature is disturbed as a result of the inability to sweat and insensitivity to pain may lead to bone fracture, multiple scars, osteomyelitis, and joint deformities, which may lead to limb amputation, painless injuries of arms, legs and oral structures. http://helium.vancouver.wsu.edu/~woodc/CIPA.html
