Children lose heat more quickly than adults due to their size and weight while the elderly have a harder time regulating their body temperature, Dorsey said. This can be due to thinner skin, loss of muscle mass and even medications for blood pressure, which can affect blood flow and temperature.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Frostbite and hypothermia prevention<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/philadelphia\/video\/what-are-the-signs-of-hypothermia-and-frostbite-protecting-yourself-from-the-cold-this-winter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Hypothermia<\/a> is when your body&#8217;s temperature goes below 95 degrees Fahrenheit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At those temperatures, it makes it very hard for the body to do its normal functioning, such as brain function, heart function, lung function,&#8221; Nwakanma said.<\/p>\n<p>Frostbite, when skin or tissue freezes, is another cold weather danger \u2014 and in freezing temperatures, it can happen in minutes, Dorsey said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Symptoms appear in three stages, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/15439-frostbite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Cleveland Clinic<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>1. Frostnip: cold, sore and painful feeling<\/p>\n<p>2. Surface frostbite: pins and needles feeling<\/p>\n<p>3. Deep frostbite: numbness<\/p>\n<p>If you experience any of these, Dorsey said to get out of the cold and warm up<strong>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The best way to do that, particularly for the fingers or toes would be to run them under warm, not hot, but warm water,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Then it&#8217;s a matter of taking a look at the skin and seeing is there are their coloration changes? Is there&#8217;s dustiness at the tips or are there blisters, those are signs of deeper skin injury that need to be seen by a physician promptly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The best way to reduce risk of these issues? Dress appropriately.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Make sure to cover your ears and hands and keep your feet warm,&#8221; Nwakanma said.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p><!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/sara-moniuszko\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Sara Moniuszko<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Sara Moniuszko is a health and lifestyle reporter at CBSNews.com.
