In the region, rescuers warn about the dangers of hypothermia
Hypothermia - hypothermia. This phenomenon is characterized by a strong drop in body temperature, which causes adverse changes of the condition of the body. It leads to disruption of normal metabolic processes and reduce the body's ability to replenish the heat loss. The body can SuperCool if he loses much more heat than it produces, what happens usually during a long stay of a person in the cold. This is especially true in intensely cold weather combined with high humidity and strong winds. The overcooling caused the injury of two people in Zbarazh Terebovlia and areas. In particular, 03 January at 11:00 in Terebovlia the Central clinical hospital with a diagnosis of "General hypothermia due to alcohol poisoning" was admitted inhabitant of S.

An additional negative factor is the inability to focus on the first signs of frostbite; - do not smoke on a frost-Smoking reduces peripheral blood circulation and makes the course more vulnerable to the effects of cold; - wear loose-fitting clothing-it promotes normal blood circulation. Dress so that between the layers was a layer of air that retains heat. It is advisable to wear an outer garment that is not waterproof. Tight shoes, no insoles can create the preconditions of frostbite; - don't go out in the cold without gloves and scarf.
