Death from being too cold is due to what is called hypothermia. The term hypothermia is not used just to mean that someone felt cold or was out in the cold for a short period, it is a specific medical diagnosis and:
- It is defined as a core body temperature that is at or below 95 F (35 C).
- Needs to be treated if body temperature goes below 95 F (35 C).
- Becomes life threatening below body temperatures of 90 F (32.2 C).
- Affects motor coordination through impact to the nervous system at 95 F.
- When the body temperature drops that low, at the start of a hypothermic condition, symptoms can include intense uncontrollable shaking and shivering, then if your body continues to get colder, the shivering stops when the core temperature gets between 90 F and 86 F.
- It causes heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure to rise during the first stages of hypothermia as your body tries to increase metabolism and warm itself, but these vital signs fall once the temperature gets 90°F (32.2°C).
- Creates coma at below 86 F.
- Heart rate becomes very irregular below 82 F and death can soon follow.
It is often believed that colds and flu and other Infectious Diseases can be caused by cold weather, changes in temperatures, being wet outside, or having wet hair, etc. None of this is correct information.
People also often say that being cold affects your immune system so you are more susceptible to infections. This is also not correct. When this is discussed, it doesn't just mean feeling chilly or even getting "goosebumps" or shivering. Hypothermia can have negative effects on your entire body including the immune system, but just being cold is not hypothermia. When medical studies use that term, it is used to refer to a specific measurement of core body temperature. Being cold does not "lower your immune system" as is often said.

What happens if the temperature is too hot or too cold for the bacteria?
If the temperature is too hot, the bacteria may be killed due to denaturation of their proteins. On the other hand, if the temperature is too cold, the bacterial growth and metabolism may slow down significantly or even stop. Both extreme temperature conditions can disrupt normal bacterial function and hinder their survival and growth.
Do flies prefer the warmth or cold weather?
Although bees are cold blooded, they have to maintain a body temperature of around 27 degrees Celsius in order to fly. They generate heat when using their wing muscles, but if the air temperature drops below about 12 degrees they cannot keep their body temperature high enough. For this reason, bees will not leave the hive if the outside temperature is too low.
How does increasing temperature affect the survival rate of microscopic organisms?
The temperature of water affects living organisms because they have to adjust to one temperature to survive. For example; some fish live only in cold water, and then oneday if the water temperature suddenly rose and became warm/hot, this would pose a problem for the fish!
How will tempurter affect the growth on plants?
Extreme temperatures can stress plants, affecting their growth and development. Cold temperatures can slow down metabolism and damage plant cells, while excessively high temperatures can cause wilting, reduce nutrient uptake, and interfere with photosynthesis. It's important to provide a conducive temperature range for optimal plant growth.
