Did You Know?

Hypothermia

In the presence of extreme temperatures, normal body mechanisms begin to slow or fail. When the body is exposed to very low temperatures, mechanisms such as shivering and directing blood flow to vital organs happen to keep the body functioning properly. When the temperature is too low for the body to regulate, a person experiences hypothermia wherein the core body temperature drops to 35 C or 95 F or less. Factors such as inadequate clothing and accidents like falling into cold water or getting trapped under snow can all cause hypothermia.
