Because it’s happened to us on a trek, if you see abandoned clothes, stop and search for anyone nearby. Late-stage hypotherima causes a thing called paradoxical undressing where the person feels too hot and starts taking their clothes off.
for a little bit of an order for this if it isn’t obvious: Take any wet clothes off (including sweaty clothes!! underlayers can become soaked with sweat while working in the cold and lead to hypothermia later) BEFORE you wrap the person in warm dry blankets/clothing.
Also I cannot stress the ‘do not rub’ thing enough. If you have a frozen steak, let it thaw a little bit and then give it a good rub. Take a peek at it via a hand lens. You’ll see tons of little cuts/gashes. That’s from the ice crystals cutting into the flesh. NEVER rub the skin of a hypothermia/extreme cold exposed person to warm them up unless you want the same damn thing happening to their flesh.
Don’t warm the extremities (hands/feet) too quickly. Not only would it be extremely painful, but the vessels in said extremities opening too quickly can lead to shock (part of the direct heat issue).
This deserves another reblog
For writers, AND real life, as places get VERY cold with limited heating being allowed to the people…
Anyone else have that thing where you get stressed out when someone else is in a bad mood because now it’s your responsibility to make them feel better, but if you’re in a bad mood and someone tries to cheer you up you get stressed out because now it’s your responsibility to pretend that it’s helping to make them feel better.
Oh so this is probably a trauma thing too. Bitches have one terrible childhood and then make it their whole personality. I’m bitches.
Today, during a police raid to take down Palestinian flags in the anti-Zionist Jewish neighborhood, Mea Shearim in Jerusalem, the Israeli policemen were recorded attackingresidents and knocking residents down on the road, hitting, and punching them in the face. Police violenceagainst ultra-Orthodox Jews continues constantly, Zionists constantly attackJews. The only crime of these Jews is that they stand with the Palestinian people and are against Zionism.
Also, watch this video of Israeli soldiers after they fired upon a teenage girl, leaving her woundedand abandonedby the side of the road. They even prevented anyone from aiding her, and when a disabled man in a wheelchair couldn’t bear it any longer and rushed to help her, one of the soldiers ejected him from his wheelchair with utmost brutality.
Watch and share it to comprehend what kind of monsters these people are, as these are the things that Western media will never show you. Because they want you to always dwell in darkness.
