Hypothermia is caused by prolonged exposures to very COLD TEMPERATURES. When exposed to cold temperatures, your body begins to lose heat faster than it’s produced. Lengthy exposures will eventually use up your body’s stored energy, which leads to LOWER body temperature.Body temperature that is too low affects the brain, making the victim unable to think clearly or move well. This makes hypothermia especially dangerous, because a person may not know that it’s happening and won’t be able to do anything about it.While hypothermia is most likely at very cold temperatures, it can occur even at cool temperatures (above 40°F) if a person becomes chilled from rain, sweat, or submersion in cold water.Victims of hypothermia are often:- Older adults with inadequate food, clothing, or heatingBabies sleeping in cold bedroomsPeople who remain outdoors for LONG periods—the homeless, HIKERS, hunters, etc.People who drink alcohol or use illicit drugs.The following are warnings signs of hypothermia:for Adults:ShiveringExhaustion or feeling very tiredConfusionFumbling handsMemory lossSlurred speechDrowsinessfor Babies:bright red, cold skinvery low energyExplanation:I hope it helps you
