The D stands for dry.In other words,stay as dry as possible.Pay attention to the places where snow can enter,like the tops of boots,the necks of coats and the wrist areas of mittens.
Hypothermia can be mild,moderate or severe.Mild hypothermia is something that most people have experienced if they live in cold climates.You feel so cold that your body starts to shake—not very much,but uncontrollably.
The treatment for mild hypothermia starts with getting out of the cold and,if necessary,changing into dry clothes.Drinking warm,nonalcoholic liquids and eating something sugary can stop the shivering.
Taking a warm bath or sitting by a fire or doing some exercise can also help the body warm up.These are all common sense treatments.
But the treatment needs change when people enter the moderate or severe stages of hypothermia.In that situation,their body temperature drops below thirtyfive degrees Celsius.They lose the ability to think clearly.Their muscles become stiff.They might bump into things or fall over objects.
It is important to work fast to get people out of the cold.Hypothermia victims need medical help as soon as possible.But it is equally important to move them slowly and gently.
