Dear Jorge,

There has been a minimal amount of research done on heat sensitivity and tics, and there is a new theory being floated that an imbalance with the hypothalamus could be affecting some people with Tourette syndrome. It's a new area of research, but I would consider it worth exploring. Good luck. Sheila
