These are all signs that you need to get out of the cold. 🥶
Frostbite happens when the skin and underlying tissues freeze after prolonged exposure to freezing or subfreezing temperatures. Here's what to do if you think you or someone else has frostbite:
- If there are severe signs, like blisters or skin turning black, call 911.
- Avoid breaking any blisters.
- Remove wet clothing and jewelry.
- Soak the area in warm water for about 20 minutes until normal color and warmth return or, cup the area with your hands.
