On December 13, at 10:50 p.m., rescuers received a report that a man born in 1965 was admitted to the surgical department of the Sambir Central Hospital with a diagnosis of second-degree frostbite on both feet.
The victim is a resident of Sambir. According to doctors, the man’s condition is of moderate severity.
The rescuers appeal to the population to be careful while on the street.
There are several simple rules, the implementation of which will allow you to avoid hypothermia and frostbite in severe cold:
* Wear loose clothing – this promotes normal blood circulation.
* Tight shoes, lack of insoles, dirty socks can create conditions for frostbite.
* Do not go out into the cold without gloves and a scarf.
* In windy weather, lubricate the exposed parts of the body with a special cream.
* If you spend the whole day outside, go into a warm room every half hour to an hour.
* Do not drink alcohol to keep warm. Just as alcohol promotes the expansion of blood vessels and leads to heat loss, which causes rapid freezing.
