		<description><![CDATA[Cold weather injuries can occur even if temperatures are above freezing.  Some of the more common are Chilblains, frostbite and trench foot

Chilblains

Chilblains is a common cold related injury.  It may develop several hours after exposure to the cold.  They are painful, itchy, red to purple areas of swelling usually affecting the fingers, toes, nose and ears; but can be seen on other areas of the body.  Occasionally blisters and small sores will be seen in some individuals but not always.  These lesions can take several weeks to heal and the area can remain sensitive to cold.  If found, cover the area with a dry sterile dressing and address re-warming the patient.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hypothermia at its most simple is when you are losing heat faster than you can generate it.  It’s simple math that applies across the spectrum of ages.  Some groups are more susceptible than others, the very young or old, diabetics and those with peripheral vascular disease just to name a few.  For most it isn’t a serious threat, but it can be deadly.

As we are all aware it is not always possible to stay inside on these cold winter days.  For those who must brave the elements there are some simple precautions that can help us stay safe and as warm as possible.]]></description>
