Hypothermia

First, a cautionary tale - https://americanliterature.com/author/jack-london/short-story/to-build-a-fire

I read this back in junior high school, and it's always stayed with me.

Now, for the helpful info:

There is really good info in the link you have posted @Mary Linda Bittle, West Plains, Missouri.

I am going to move this discussion to the Emergency Category under Information Sources cause I think it is something that everyone should be aware of, especially in emergency situations.

@Mary Linda Bittle, West Plains, Missouri Hypothermia is not something that I ever want to see nor experience. I have heard way too many stories.

I have had a touch of frostbite on 2 of my fingertips from skiing when I was a teen. I remember them being quite white & numb when I took my glove/mitt off. I do have an ongoing lack of full sensitivity in them even today.
