Cold receptors respond to menthol, which is a chemical compound that creates a cooling or tingling sensation in the skin when it is in contact with it. Capsaicin, on the other hand, activates heat receptors and causes a burning sensation. Alcohol can cause a cooling sensation, but it does not activate cold receptors specifically. Water does not activate any type of receptors on the skin.
