Doctors Offer Practical Advice in Order to Deal with the Extreme Temperatures

In fact, the doctors say that the freezing temperatures are able to represent risks of well being. “It is better to limit your outdoor activities given that prolonged exposure can produce frostbite and hypothermia”, said John Marshall, head of emergencies at Maimonides Medical Center in New York. “Both conditions can be serious and be potentially fatal if not treated”.
