Hypothermia occurs when you are exposed to cold temperatures for too long and your body begins to lose heat faster than it can be produced. The cold weather will use up your body’s stored energy and eventually affect your brain, making you unable to think clearly or move well. Prevent hypothermia by bundling up when outside. Multiple, thin layers works better than one large layer. Remember to keep your hands, feet and head warm too. If you notice symptoms of hypothermia, seek medical attention immediately. Keep an eye for these symptoms from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): Adults: shivering, exhaustion confusion, fumbling hands memory loss, slurred speech drowsiness Infants: bright red, cold skin very low energy
