If you appreciated our support- Covering first aid, mental health support, as well as a few snacks, consider donating to keep us going. What we don't spend on doing first aid for protests, we spend supporting trans people in the community. paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s…

@JessicasuAKA Precisely what situations will vary by person and a lot of other factors(environment, excercise, heart rate, etc) though - all you can do is look out for pain, numbness or pins and needles.

@queercare I’m joking mostly! I have no clue if I need to take extra extra precautions or not. Even gloves often don’t help enough. I know I’m more likely to get frostbite but not what temperatures etc.

@JessicasuAKA It won't be a specific set of outside temperatures, it'll be skin temperature which will cause frostbite (slightly below zero). For you though, your skin will reach that temperature faster because it's not got as much blood underneath it warming it up.

If people are talking, check if they know of any other conditions, check with their friends, and check for medical alert bracelets if they're not.

Complications we missed: anything that limits circulation will make you especially vulnerable to cold based injury- old age os a common example, as is Raynauds syndrome which shuts down circulation to the extremeties.

Cold injuries are obviously a giant issue right now and there's more to it than "being too cold is bad for your health". Here's our week worth of threads on how to prevent, recognise and treat common illnesses and injuries you get in the cold.
