Do you really know what frostbite is? Frostbite is a condition where the skin and the tissue just below the skin freezes. It can occur when you expose your skin to extreme cold for too long. Frostbite can be treated but the sort of treatment depends on the severity. More mild cases can be treated with gradual warming but more extreme cases have to usually be treated medically by removing dead and unhealthy tissue as well as rewarming. Frostbite can be very dangerous because it can happen anywhere on your body and if it's bad enough whatever place gets “bitten” will usually have to be surgically removed. The most common place that it will happen is fingers, toes, ears, nose and lips. This connects to the quarter of skin conditions and skin sensitivity testing we did in science class. I wanted to do frostbite because I know someone who got frostbite on their nose and had to get surgery. So if this doesn't paint a clear enough picture for you now let me tell you, WEAR WARM CLOTHES!
