Here are some rules that help avoid frostbite:
• If you have now reached a cool atmosphere of warm atmosphere, give your body enough time to get used to the new weather before spending a lot of time abroad.
Wear suitable clothing for the weather: Many layers, gloves, a pair of socks, waterproof shoes, cover your head, face, nose and ears all the time. Clothes should not be too tight to prevent blood flow to hands and feet.
• Always travel with someone, so that you have someone to help if you need them.
• Avoid drinking alcohol before or during cold weather. Alcohol prevents the person from realizing that his body is cold.
• Avoid smoking, as it affects blood vessels and increases the risk of frostbite.
• When you notice the first signs that your body has started to get too cold or the frostbite has started (ie the skin becomes red, blue, white or painful), keep away from cold, warm yourself and protect your vulnerable skin.
• Patients with diabetes and those with any diseases in the blood vessels, or young and old should take more caution.
