Frostbite Prevention Guidelines

Frostbite prevention involves staying warm and protected in cold environments. Wear layered clothing, including insulated and waterproof outerwear, and keep extremities like fingers, toes, ears, and nose covered. Limit time outside in freezing weather, especially if wind chill makes it feel colder. Keep moving to maintain circulation, and avoid tight clothing that can restrict blood flow. Stay dry, as moisture increases heat loss. Recognize early signs like numbness or stinging, and seek shelter and warmth immediately if they occur. Regularly check your body for cold-related changes, and remember that the body's extremities are most vulnerable to frostbite.
