Frostbite typically sets in when skin and underlying tissues are exposed to freezing temperatures, usually below 32°F (0°C), for an extended period. Factors such as wind chill, wet conditions, and individual susceptibility can accelerate the onset. Initial symptoms may include tingling, numbness, and discoloration of the skin, progressing to more severe damage if exposure continues. It's crucial to seek warmth and medical attention if frostbite is suspected.
Gangrene can develop after frostbite if the affected tissue loses its blood supply and becomes necrotic. This process can occur within a few days to weeks after the initial frostbite injury, depending on the severity of the frostbite and individual factors such as overall health and circulation. Prompt medical treatment is crucial to minimize the risk of gangrene following frostbite.

frostbite means that a part of the body has frozen to the point where blood is no longer flowing, and thus damage has happened to that area (lack of blood is bad). There is only one 'type' of frostbite, and you can get it anywhere, but you can have a mild case, or an extreme case, or anywhere in between. In extreme cases the item usually has to be amputated or gangrene can set in.
