Are black people more succeptible to frostbite than white people?


There is a study found that black military personal in the korean war suffered more cold exposure injuries than their white counterparts.

No.
People whose skin is exposed to extreme cold are more succeptible to frostbite than people who live in the tropics.

Are you kidding me?

No..black people can tolerate UV rays better than white people but when it comes to frostbite color doesnt make a difference. When your body parts reaches a certain temperature you can get frostbite....frostbite knows no color !
