A member asked:
Do hypothermia victims loose sensation to the cold while hypothermic or feel hot or numb while hypothermic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends.: At first, it is quite painful! (frostbite) then it is numb. With re-establishment of circulation, it goes through a hot phase and often painful, but that is after the frostbite. With all over hypothermia, it is decreased consciousness.
