LAWTON, Okla. (TNN) - Staying outside for long periods of time during the cold temperatures and wind chills can be dangerous, and even deadly.
The two main dangers are hypothermia and frostbite.
Hypothermia starts to kick in once your body temperature drops below 95 degrees Fahrenheit and frostbite can cause blistering, discoloration to the skin, and numbing to the finger tips.
Dr. Manuel Delarosa said you can treat hypothermia and frostbite from home.
