Chinese used tickling to kill. Light tickling is fun. But prolonged intense tickling will result in a slow painful death. Its rare these days mainly because we are somewhat more civilized. And even the worst criminals among us wouldnt have the stomach to tickle someone to the point of convulsions and respiratory arrest. But if someone have tickled you to the point of near convulsions, theyre not safe to be around. Because if they dont think twice about harming you, the next time they may inflict a full fledged beating

"The debatable nature of tickle torture begins in that, historically, there is little evidence that it was actually practiced as a method of hard torture. Well-known torture epidemics, such as the Salem Witch Trials and the Spanish Inquisition, used methods of torture far more painful than acidosis from simple tickling.
As public humiliation, however, tickling would be an effective torture. In addition, a person being tickled and laughing cannot eat, drink, or sleep, meaning death by exhaustion if not by respiratory arrest, which is theoretically possible."
