Hypothermia occurs when the body's core temperature drops below a normal range (about 98.6°F or 37°C). When the body temperature falls to 96°F or below, it can lead to severe symptoms such as confusion, impaired judgment, loss of consciousness, and eventually organ failure. This is dangerous because the body's vital systems can be impaired, and if not treated promptly, hypothermia can be life-threatening.

Is hydrogen dangerous to humans?
Hydrogen is very flammable to the point of being explosive under the right conditions. It must be kept away from any open flame, However Hydrogen is also less flammable than gasoline. The auto-ignition-point* of hydrogen is 932 degrees Fahrenheit. The auto-ignition-point* of gasoline is only 536 degrees Fahrenheit. Hydrogen has no danger to humans, although if you breath in too much it will replace the oxygen and you will suffocate and possibly die. *Autoignition point is the temperature it takes to ignite or spontaneously combust.
Why do bears fight with humans?
They don't fight with humans. Humans fight with bears because they don't like bears walking around their yards and into their homes that they built in the bear's habitat. Bears have been pushed out of their natural habitats, and as a result become more urbanized and less fearful of humans. Which makes them that more dangerous to people.
