FROSTBITE
A victim of frostbite might complain that his ears, nose, fingers, or
feet feel painful and then numb. Another frostbite victim won't notice
anything. You might see grayish-white patches on his skin-a sure
sign of frostbite.

FIRST AID FOR FROSTBITE
Cet into a tent or building, then
warm the injury and keep it warm.
If an ear or cheek is frozen. remove
a glove and warm the injury with
the palm of your hand. Slip a frostbitten
hand under your clothing and
tuck it beneath an armpit. Treat
frozen toes by putting the victim's
bare feet against the warm skin of
your belly. Avoid rubbing frost-bitten flesh,
as that can damage tissue and skin.
You can also warm a frozen part
by holding it in warm-not hotrunning
water. Or wrap it in a dry
blanket. Have the patient exercise
injured fingers or toes, and don't
let the injured area freeze again.
Cet the victim to a doctor.
Avoid cold
emergencies by wearing
enough clothing to stay wann
and dry, and don 't forget your hat.
