Conditions don't have to be sub-zero temperatures, says Dr.' Michael Bowman. A skier ex­ posed to a cold wind and rain on a 40 degree day, or an elderly person living in a house heated to only 65 F can be at risk, says Bowman. Most hypothermia cases develop when the tem­ perature is between 30 F and 50 F in the presence of a strong wind and rain. Outdoor enthusiasts may risk frostbite if a limb is exposed to sub-freezing temperatures. Initally, a person feels cold, then pain followed by numbness or a tingling sensation. Injury, fatigue and alcohol can mask the early warning signs, says Bowman. But it's important to be aware of these symptoms, get to a shelter and warm the limb, he says. A frozen limb may be white or ' purplish in color, cold to the touch or as hard as frozen hamburger. As the condition progresses, ice crystals form in the tissues. Blood flow stops and the person won't be able to feel anything in the limb or be able to move it. Don't try to treat frostbite by putting the affected part in snow, says Bowman. Rewar- ming should be done in a medical center. It's important to avoid further injury until you can get there, however. Keep the limb stationary. Bumping the limb or exercising it can cause further damage.

Hypothermia occurs when the body's core temperature is less than 95 F, says Bowman. In a moderate case, warning signs may include shivering, fatigue, lethargy,, stiffness and lack of coordination. As the body's temperature drops to below 90 F, the person may become disoriented, confused and unable to move. If the victim is not warmed in time, he or she may lapse into a coma and die. Shivering is the body's in­ voluntary way to try to conserve heat. But .once a person's core temperature is below 90 F, the body's shivering mechanism shuts off and the body rapidly loses heat. At this point, vicitms should be treated gently, says Bowman. Don't increase movement, or give hot liquids or alcohol to a person with hypothermia. This will cause cold blood in the extremities to flow to the core of the body and warmer blood to flow to the extremities, leading to an ad­ ditional decrease in body temperature. In severe cases, this can cause cardiac arrest. x Protect the person from wind and precipitation. If you're in the wilderness, build a shelter. Remove wet clothing and in­ sulate the victim with warm, dry clothing, or the body heat of two unaffected persons. As soon as possible, seek medical at­ tention, says Bowman. To avoid hypothermia and frostbite, eat a small amount of food and drink non-alcoholic hot beverages periodically, exer­ cise-but not to the point of fatigue, take breaks and warm up occasionally in a shelter if it's available. Toteep warm, wear loose layers of clothing made of insulating materials such as wool; protect the head, feet and the torso with water-and wind- resistant outer garments.
