Don’t Let Frostbite Bite You
Our weather took an abrupt turn over the weekend, plunging us back into
winter after a mild holiday period. Some folks may not have adjusted to the return of extreme cold, and might be risking frostbite as a result.
Dr. Gabe Berendes from Mayo Clinic in La Crosse suggests putting on more clothing during the cold spell, and covering areas of exposed skin that could freeze easily. Red, white, or blue skin are visible signs of possible frostbite.
