If you fall into cold water, you should try to get out of the water as quickly as possible to reduce the risk of hypothermia. Remove wet clothing and replace with dry clothes if available. Seek shelter and warmth to raise your body temperature.
No, it sometimes live in cold water.
Hypothermia
Hypothermia and death.
The greatest danger for a person with hypothermia, unless treated in time, is death.
Hypothermia is the medical term for when the body loses heat faster than it can produce it, leading to a dangerously low body temperature. It can occur when exposed to cold water for a prolonged period.
The most obvious is that when you are cold and then suddenly warmed it can cause Hypothermia. ALSO, YOU CAN FREEZE TO DEATH!! :)
you can prevent hypothermia by not getting cold
Hypothermia occurs when the human body loses heat faster than it can produce. A person can get Hypothermia in a cold climate, in general, if you are naked and exposed to cold temperatures. Swimming or drop in cold/ice water, cold wind, the effect and just being sloppy in a snow storm can all contribute. A person is said to suffer from Hypothermia once your body temperature drops below 96 F
Yes. Depending on the fish, but all fish can freeze if the temperature of the water reaches a certain temperature.
If you suddenly find yourself in cold water, try to remain as calm as possible to conserve energy and prevent panic. Keep your body as still as you can and adopt the fetal position to reduce heat loss. If you can, signal for help or swim to safety, but be aware of the risks of hypothermia. If you are unable to get out quickly, focus on treading water to maintain warmth and keep your head above water.
Float on your stomach with arms and legs extended.
the water has to be about room tempurature. Not cold enough to get hypothermia but not so hot it ill burn.
