If they have mild frostbite, apply first aid care and then seek medical attention.

]]> 82737 2 0 Step Remove clothing Move the victim to a warm, dry place and remove any constricting clothes or jewelry that may be interfering with the circulation of blood.

]]> 82738 3 0 Step Place in warm water Place the affected body parts in warm—but not extremely hot—water around 100 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit. If the area cannot be placed in warm water, apply a warm compress of the same temperature.

]]> 82739 4 0 Tip Don’t be surprised if the victim experiences burning pain, swelling, or color changes during the rewarming process. This is typical.

]]> 82740 5 0 Step Change water frequently Change the water or compress frequently to maintain a consistent temperature. Do this until the skin has regained its softness and sensitivity.

]]> 82741 6 0 Step Apply dressing Apply a dry, sterile dressing to frostbitten areas. If the fingers or toes were frostbitten, be sure to put dressing between them so they are not rubbing against one another. It is also important to keep the thawing areas as still as possible.

]]> 82742 7 0 Step Wrap rewarmed dressing Wrap the rewarmed dressings in order to prevent refreezing.

]]> 82743 8 0 Tip Prevent frostbite by dressing warmly and avoiding alcohol, smoking, and restrictive clothing or jewelry, all of which slow down circulation and make you more vulnerable to frostbite.

]]> 82744 9 0 Step Stay with the victim Stay with the victim until medical help arrives.

]]> 82745 10 0 Fact China denied the neo-liberal mayor of Prague, Czech Republic, access to Mount Everest for his recent climbing expedition—Nepal granted him a permit instead.
