 When it's cold out, exposed skin may get red or sore. This is called frostnip, and it’s an early warning sign of frostbite. If this happens, find warm shelter quickly.

Symptoms of frostbite depend on how deep it goes into the body. There are three stages. Early frostbite affects the top layers of the skin. More advanced cases can go all the way through to the muscles and bones. You can prevent frostbite by layered clothing and try not to go outside if its bitter cold but if you have to layer all your clothing up. ]]> 2017-02-13 17:41:40 UTC https://padlet.com/snyderem/gjbl2ntwjh36/wish/153505807 snyderem https://padlet.com/snyderem/gjbl2ntwjh36/wish/153509632 https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+treat+frostbite&oq=how+to+treat+fr&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5084j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8]]> 2017-02-13 17:53:30 UTC https://padlet.com/snyderem/gjbl2ntwjh36/wish/153509632
