Frostbite

Symptoms:
Numbness, pale, glossy skin, possible blistering.
Treatment:
Warm by placing victim indoors, remove covering, bathe frozen part in
warm water; do not massage. For cold exposure, give artificial respiration. Placing
blankets over a person who has a reduced body core temperature will do no good; heat
must be applied to the victim to bring the temperature up to normal. If conscious, give
warm liquids by mouth.
