Hypothermia victims start to get numb and get confused then they go unconscious soon they will die. First if your friend has hypothermia take off their wet cloths. Move the victim to shelter. If the victim is unconscious or unable to move, move them to a sleeping bag to have there heat warm faster. How to avoid hypothermia: Frostbite is most likely to happen in body parts farthest from the HEART and those with a lot of surface area exposed to cold. The initial stages of frostbite are sometimes called "frostnip". Mountains or high altitudes with snow are often where the most serious cases of frostbite occurred. At or below 32°F blood vessles Close to the skin start to constrict. This helps to preserve core body temperature. In extreme cold, or when the body is exposed to cold for long periods, this protective strategy can reduce blood flow in some areas of the body to dangerously low levels. If frostbite is not treated immediately then the damage and the frostbite becomes permanent. Nerve damage will occur due to oxygen deprivation. Frostbitten areas will turn discolored, purplish at first, and soon turn black.  The temperature has been around 10 to 20 degrees F in Nome Alaska.

Doug Swingly won a few iditirod races, he withdrawed because he got frostbite in his eyes. But he came back, and he came back again. He could have stayed in the race by wearing warmer clothes. I can learn that you should dress warmly all the time in the cold.-tigergirl
