A member asked:
Why are my nose, hands, and feet always cold even in the summer?

Normal: We loose heat through our extremities (hands, and feet) and our ears and nose. That is why in winter time you have to keep these parts more covered than the rest.

These extremities: Are furthest away from the heart. This is the same reason these extremities are most effected by gout. As the uric acid crystals will crystallize in cold. Though, in gout, you hear it occurring more in the ear than the nose.
