When it’s Winter, Hypothermia usually occurs

Hypothermia can be deadly and can sneak up on you. When your body is exposed to cold temperatures you lose heat faster than your body could produce. As you lose body heat your ability to think clearly diminishes . This makes hypothermia particularly dangerous because a person may not know it is happening and won’t be able to do anything about it.

Hypothermia occurs in very cold temperatures, but it also occur even at cool temperatures (above 40°F). If the person chilled because they were soak in the rain or sweat, or even submerge in cold water hypothermia may catch them.
There are several signs of hypothermia:

----In adults you may experience shivering, exhaustion, confusion, fumbling hands, memory loss, slurred speech, and drowsiness.

----In infants bright red and cold skin, along with very low energy are signs.

If your body temperature falls below 95 F (35 C).You may check it as maybe you will be on medical emergency or just may need medical check-up.

First Aid for hypothermia:
1.Monitor the person's breathing. If breathing stops or seems dangerously slow or shallow, begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) immediately.

2.If medical care is not readily available warming the person’s body is a priority as a sort of first aid.

3. If possible put them to a heated room or shelter. Cover them up.

4. Don't apply direct heat. Don't use hot water, a heating pad or a heating lamp to warm the victim. Instead, apply warm compresses to the neck, chest wall and groin. Don't attempt to warm the arms and legs. Heat applied to the arms and legs forces cold blood back toward the heart, lungs and brain, causing the core body temperature to drop. This can be fatal.

5.Remove wet clothing if applicable.

6.If the person is conscious warm non- alcoholic drinks will help if not vomitting.

7.Avoid giving them alcohol.

8.Don't massage or rub the person. Handle people with hypothermia gently, because they're at risk of cardiac arrest.
9. If it becomes worst seek medical help as soon as possible. Rush them to a nearest hospital or call 911.
