What is an example of allodynia?

Fractured bone
Insect bite
Sunburn
Headache

The correct answer is: Sunburn

Allodynia refers to a condition in which normal, everyday stimuli cause pain or discomfort. While a fractured bone, insect bite, and headache all cause pain, these are not examples of allodynia as pain caused by these sources is an expected response to injury or illness. A sunburn, on the other hand, is an example of allodynia as the sensation of pain is caused by stimuli that would not typically be perceived as painful. The sunburned skin may feel painful to the touch or even to clothing, demonstrating an exaggerated response to normal stimuli.
