  • Cold Injuries - Frostbite
    Frostbite develops when skin tissues and blood vessels are damaged by being in temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • First Aid - Frostbite
    When exposed to very cold temperatures, the skin and underlying tissues may freeze, resulting in frostbite. The areas most likely to be affected are the hands, feet, nose, and ears.

  • Frostbite Fact Sheet
    Frostbite Fact Sheet provides advice on dressing for cold weather to avoid frosbite.

  • Frostbite Treatment
    Wear several layers of clothing when in extremely cold conditions since the air pockets between the layers will help to retain warmth. * Limit the use of alcohol and smoking tobacco. Alcohol causes the blood to cool quickly and tobacco inhibits circulation to extremities.
