What Causes Frostbite?

With winter soon approaching, you're likely already thinking about the dreaded cold and snow. Besides the threat colder temperatures pose to the roadways, and thus car accidents, the temperature itself is just as deadly as the elements it causes. Too often, there are families and individuals who end up freezing to death every year. Typically, this is due to the fact their heating unit stopped working in the middle of a rather frigid night. Older men and women, especially, are prone to possible death due to freezing. Frostbite is a sure sign you've received some damage from the cold. It's also far easier to develop than you might initially realize.
