How do you know if u got frostbite?


How do you know if u got frostbite?

severe frost bite will be very painful, your skin will swell and turn white, start to shed and then turn black. if this happens get to the doctor.
Moderate frost bite will hurt when it's thawing out, but the color will come back to it and you should be fine.

p.s. Live in canada, seen frostbite a thousand times.

I will feel numb and turn white for the first stage then it will start to turn black. Then is when you have a problem. To fix it run it under cold water not hot. That's because it's so cold the hot water will make it feel like it's burning. After runnning it under cold you can switch to hot.

If it is a really severe case you will see white spots on the area of your body. Also you will have trouble feeing and using these parts pof your body. In a less severe case your body will get very red and may get purple.
