Warning Signs Of Hypothermia

Shivering And Trembling

Everyone shivers and trembles when they experience cold. Even a light breeze on a warm day can cause an individual to get a chill. However, those exposed to extreme cold, especially for extended periods, will experience shivering and trembling to an extreme degree and for a long duration. Shivering and trembling is typically the first identifiable symptom that presents itself when the body temperature begins to drop. When the body is cold, small sensors attempt to send signals to the brain, expressed as shaking and trembling, telling it the body needs to warm itself. Furthermore, as the muscles shake, they are forced, even if it seems slight, to contract and release, generating heat in the body.
