Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Lena Pimonova

How to avoid frostbite and to protect skin from freezing winds? The important point that you ought to follow is not to go out into the frost with the wrong kind of clothing. You need very good cold weather gear and proper advice on how to protect yourself from the elements. Using this information and gear, you will never risk freezing any of your body parts including your arms, legs and face.

A person who is already of weak health, physically tired, have not eaten awhile, you could easily run the risk of landing yourself in the hospital with the diagnosis of "frostbite". When a person is out in the freezing elements and going about their normal day, they need to change how they approach things. Waiting at a bus stop for the transportation can turn deadly if a person is standing in one place for a long period of time. It's better to walk around and clap your hands to stay warm. The probability of freezing in the wind rises significantly, so another tip is to hide from the wind.

Long-term exposure to cold weather can impact the blood vessels by narrowing them sharply and reduce accelerating heat loss. Because of narrowing vessels the blood supply goes bad. The effect is a variety of damage including a very dangerous condition called necrosis (death of the cells within the tissue of the skin).

Frostbite is not something that is noticeable, because the ability of a person to feel the damage is reduced due to the cold. The body becomes numb. There's the whiteness of the skin, even after some time it turns blue, and then formed blisters. Warming the body when it visits this condition will cause hard, sharp pain.

Extreme frostbite causes swelling of the skin. There is light, medium and heavy degree of frostbite. A person who had frostbite should be provided with immediate emergency treatment. This depends on the degree of frostbite, and also the age of the person and existing health problems.

The initial thing in getting frostbite is to take a person to the nearest warm place, to pull off the frozen clothing, winter boots, socks, gloves. Areas that appear red on the skin should be warmed with body heat through hands and not with the warmth of a fire or other electrical means, including electric blankets.

Use the warmth of the hands and make a light massage, continue by adding warm breathe to the area. Place a cotton-gauze bandage on it. Give a person hot tea to drink with honey. If necessary, call a doctor to provide more qualified medical aid or take the person to the emergency intensive care unit.

How to avoid hypothermia and frostbite from the freezing wind?

Avoid frostbite or hypothermia is not a difficult thing if you take the right precautions. Layers all clothing, as this will provide space for warm air to gather, slowing down the release of heat from the body. Wear underwear or tights, which are made of cotton or the thermal materials.
Then, try not to wear tight winter boots (there must be insoles), and warm woolen or thermal socks. Such special attention to these issues must be given to those who often have sweaty feet. Wetness should not gather around the feet. Feet need to stay dry. This is especially important for people who have diabetes.

Another well noted bit of advice is to grease the parts of the body exposed to the wind and frost with fat or special creams; for example, your face and your hands.

Keep yourself out of the wind, because there is a greater chance to freeze in the wind, which is much stronger on frosty weather days.

There is also a big problem for the outside workers in cold weather environments. The outside workers should take all existing measures to keep safe during work in frost weather, freezing wind and low temperature can be deadly.

Protective measure is to wear layers of clothing. The clothing for extreme cold weather conditions should have a waterproof outer layer. And the clothing for those who work outside at windy cold weather should have a protective layer against frosty wind. When workers should work at extremely cold and freezing conditions their protective cold weather gear should be warmed up in advance before placing the clothing on the body.

The workers should also cover their heads with woolen caps, which could prevent heat loss. Try to focus on the insulating materials, making the right choice between synthetics or natural material. Cotton and wool are natural materials and sometimes they can absorb moisture which will results in a loss of insulation qualities. That is why there is a need to make a good choice. Everything depends on a person's likes and dislikes, and also on necessities of proper clothing in extreme situation. You must research your situation before making a decision in buying the right clothing.

As for the winter boots, they should be of the proper size and should be made of good natural leather material to protect the feet from cold and keep frost outside. Winter boots should be waterproof and should have the felt insoles inside. Soles need to be thick.

The socks should be protective and also warm from frost. They should have all protecting qualities, be able to absorb the moisture away from the feet and also be comfortable to wear. The socks shouldn't make winter boots too loose or too tight, they should be the right size.

So, now I hope you have more ideas how to choose the best cold weather gear for yourself, while understanding your own conditions and situations.
