A member asked:
Can you have organ tissue death from cold related injury have you ever seen this please let me know?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Um... frostbite...: The cold has to actually get to the organ to damage it. Generally it is going to be the ends of the limbs and the outside more than the inside. This would be frostbite.
