    Frostbite and frostnip

    2. Frostnipped parts are white but not hard and are generally very small areas.
    3. Frozen parts have no feeling.
    4. During the freezing process, they may tingle or feel like a block of wood.
    5. Once frostbitten areas thaw, they may be painless or tingle.
    6. When they are rapidly rewarmed in warm water by the recommended method, they may be painful.
    7. Over the next few days, the part is often painful and swollen.
    8. Blisters may appear, and severely affected areas turn black.

    Immersion injury
    1. Areas affected by immersion injury are first red and then turn pale and swollen.
    2. Numbness or painful tingling may occur.
    3. After the first few days, the part becomes very red, tingling, swollen, and may have blisters, skin breakdown, or even liquefy.
