Concerns about spending too much time outside. We checked in with a doctor at Mercy Hospital in des moines about something they do see in the winter months hypothermia, and how to prevent it. Andrew terry, its very important, if youre out in the cold to cover up exposed skin as much as possible, your toes, your fingers, your ears, those are the first things at risk. Taking breaks where you can warm up. Also, making sure that if you have a stocking cap or gloves that get wet, having a back up pair or back up hat that you can change into because that wet clothing is really going to make you much colder than dry would. Jack so how quickly can you get frostbite in these kind of temps . According to the National Weather service windchill chart. With temps in the teens, it takes about 30 minutes if youre outside with uncovered skin. Symptoms of hypothermia include shivering, which may stop as hypothermia progresses. Slow, shallow breathing.
