Mystery Hour Question

Erin, Edinburgh

Answer

**Definitive**

Name: Dan, Oxshott

Qualification: Doctor

Answer: No. Because your skin is made of something called stratified squamous epithelium, which is impermeable, so water can’t make it through the layers of your skin to rehydrate you. The water will get into your cells, which is why they swell up if you sit in the bath, but it won’t go any further.
