Washington D.C. – We have recently experienced record cold weather that affected great part of the U.S. and even though the past days brought slightly warmer temperatures, the winter has just begun and we need to be ready for the next extreme cold wave.
In fact, doctors say that the freezing temperatures might present health risks. “It is better to limit your activities in the open, since long exposure could end up in frostbite or hypothermia” said Dr. John Marshall, President of Medical Emergencies in Maimonides Medical Center, New York. “Both conditions can get serious, and even potentially lethal if not treated.”
