Part 1: Wear appropriate clothes.

1, check the weather before going out. Look at the weather forecast first, and then decide what clothes to wear today. Preventing frostbite is actually preparing as much as possible. Whether hiking or queuing to buy train tickets, if you stay outdoors all day, you may get frostbite.

Make sure you have enough warm clothes to cope with the temperature drop. The weather in winter is difficult to predict. While preparing for the high temperature at noon, we should also prepare for the low temperature at night in advance. In case you come home late, you have enough clothes to keep out the cold.

3. Be prepared for unexpected snowstorm or strong wind. Exposure to wet snow and cold wind will increase the chance of frostbite.

4. Wear multi-layer clothes. People who often stay outdoors have developed a set of dressing methods to cope with winter weather. No matter how warm your winter clothes are, they will not be more effective than putting on an extra layer of clothes. A good winter suit should include the following basic warm clothes:

5. Wear a close-fitting garment that absorbs moisture and sweats. This artificial fabric can prevent the skin from being wet for a long time.

6. Wear warm clothes and cover the clothes that absorb moisture and sweat. You'd better wear wool clothes. Don't wear cotton clothes, because they can't dry quickly and keep warm.

7. Wear a winter suit on the outermost layer. You can wear winter clothes, raincoats or both to protect yourself fundamentally.

8. Check the clothes for gaps. Make sure there are no gaps in the clothes, and cold air can't enter from the outside and attack your skin. The joints between trousers and shirts, wrists, ankles and necks are prone to frostbite. Even if these are not the most common frostbite sites, you should take preventive measures just in case.

9. Tuck the bottoming shirt tightly into your pants.

10, wrap the trouser legs with socks.

1 1. Cover the sleeves of clothes with mittens.

12, pay special attention to protect the head, hands and feet. These are the most common frostbite sites. Warm clothes can't protect these external surfaces. You must put on suitable clothes for these parts to keep warm as much as possible.

13, wear a warm hat with ears.

14. Protect your eyes and nose in extremely cold temperatures. You can wear a ski mask.

Wear gloves. They are warmer than gloves.

16, wear appropriate shoes and socks. If you expect your feet to get wet, you can wear waterproof boots.

Part two: Know when you have to hide in the house.

1. Don't let the children stay outside for too long. Bring the child into the house every hour to warm him up. Children are more susceptible to frostbite because they don't know the warning signs of frostbite like adults. Children may also lose their gloves, but they won't notice it immediately, causing their fingers to be numb with cold. Take the children back to the house to keep warm regularly (especially in very cold temperatures) to ensure their safety at all times.

If you encounter a strong storm or extremely cold weather, please look for shelter. In low temperature, strong wind or heavy rain, the body may soon get frostbite. If the weather changes, you must find shelter as soon as possible.

If your clothes are wet by snow, rain or sweat, please change your clothes immediately or enter the room. Putting wet clothes close to the skin will increase the risk of frostbite, especially socks, gloves or mittens. Take more clothes, or go indoors to dry after getting wet.

4. Check the skin for frostbite every half hour. This is especially important if you are at very cold temperatures. Check your skin, gently press it to see if it becomes stiff, and move your fingers and toes. Precursors of frostbite include:

5. Schizomorph: This is the earliest stage. Skin usually feels pain and redness after being pressed.

6. Surface frostbite: The second stage of frostbite is that the skin is numb, grayish yellow or white, but it still feels soft.

7. Deep frostbite: Frostbite at this stage is very dangerous and requires immediate medical attention. See if the skin is numb, white or waxy grayish yellow and extremely stiff. Patients may also have dizziness, confusion and fever.

Part 3: Handling frostbite

1. Go to a warm place immediately. If you show signs of frostbite, go into the house immediately to keep warm. Take off wet clothes and put on dry clothes or wrap a warm blanket to keep warm. Drink a warm drink, such as tea, hot chocolate or warm water, and raise your body temperature as soon as possible.

Don't go out until your body is warm. When you go out at this time, the frostbite area is easy to be further damaged. Don't put yourself in danger of frostbite just to go back skiing or hiking.

3. If you can't find a warm place, or it's too far from the nearest heated building, you can hide in a place that is not blown by the wind, and then shout or call for help.

4. Soak the frostbitten part in warm water. Fill a bowl or pot with warm water, and then completely immerse the frostbitten area in water. Do not use hot water, lest the skin overheat too fast and damage the skin tissue. Soak the frostbitten area for 30 to 40 minutes.

5. Let people without frostbite test the water temperature first to make sure it is warm water, not hot water. Patients with frostbite may not be able to accurately perceive the temperature.

6. After about 30 or 40 minutes, the frostbitten area should restore all senses and normal skin color. When the body tissue starts to heat up, you usually feel severe pain.

7. Don't use other methods to warm the frostbitten area. Rough treatment of body tissues may aggravate the injury. Only warm water can be used as a heating method to restore the body to normal temperature. Do not do the following:

8. Don't rub your skin with your hands or towels.

9. Don't bake the frostbitten parts with fire, because numb skin is easy to burn.

10, seek medical assistance or let a doctor evaluate the damage. Subfrostbite can be treated at home without further medical assistance, but frostbite beyond this range may cause long-term injury. If you have the following symptoms, please seek medical attention immediately:

1 1, blisters

12, loss of feeling

13, pale or discolored skin

14, frostbite pus

15, fever, confusion, dizziness

Tip: Don't drink or smoke, which will make your body more vulnerable to frostbite.

In cold weather, it is best to wear clothes made of wool or artificial wool instead of cotton-padded jacket, because the water absorption of cotton cloth will actually make the skin colder.

If a person has hypothermia and frostbite at the same time, treat the symptoms of hypothermia first.

Remember this sentence: "Sweaters can keep you warm, but cotton-padded clothes can hurt you."

Warning that frostbite may become very serious. Please handle it carefully. If the body tissue may freeze again, don't let the frozen tissue thaw.
