Q

hypothermia characteristics

A

A potentially fatal condition in which the body’s core temperature drops below 95 F
Can result from prolonged, vigorous exercise in 40 F to 50 F temperatures, particularly if there is rain, snow, or strong wind
As body core temperature drops from the normal98.6 F to about 93.2 F, shivering begins, increasing body temperature using the heat given off by muscle activity.
To prevent hypothermia, analyze weather conditions, including wind and humidity, before engaging in outdoor activity.
