How long does it take you to have hypothermia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very little time. : Hypothermia is defined as having a core body temperature below 95 degrees f or 35 degrees c. How long it takes to drop your body temperature to that degree is dependent on your exposure and the environmental conditions. Your body can lose heat 25 times faster in cold water than cold air. Children and elderly are at higher risk of hypothermia.
