Ice might work.

Hmm, yes, the methamphetamine variety might take your mind off it!

@5150 - What would you estimate the diameter of one of these punch biopsies to be? Where on the body is it performed for SFN?

Sorry to be away so long...unavoidable
.
The diameter of these punch biopsies is about 2 to 10mm.
On the body, it is done distally at the distal leg - calf, and proximally at the thigh.
