again and with it are more and more participants in outdoor winter sports each year For skiers snowmobilers hunters and persons who must work out of doors - a few simple precautions can prevent most cases of frostbite Prevention-Thfour factors effecting risk of frostbite are temperature moisture wind and duration of exposure The combination of wind and cold is much more dangerous than cold alone For example the freezing effect of a temperature of 20 degrees when the wind is 45 miles an hour is the same as if the temperature were 45 degrees with a 2 mile an hour breeze Adequate is a must Areas of the body that are farthest away from internal organs clothing and larger muscles are most likely to be effected (ears nose toes fingers) When these areas are constricted by tight clothing or are wet the risk of frostbite increases Persons who expect to be exposed for a prolonged time should carry extra dry clothes particularly socks and mittens in the event their clothes become wet Although alcohol has been touted as a time honored remedy for persons suffering from cold exposure it is more likely to worsen the situation since it causes peripheral blood vessel dilatation and increased heat loss What to do if you develop frostbite In the r cold injuries not quite to the point of frostbite (mild blanching of the skin) simple rewarming by placing the cold part against a warm area (fingers into armpits cold feet against a companions abdomen) will usually suffice For these and deeper injuries never rub a cold injured part vigorously and never rub snow on an area For deep frostbite rewarming is the only treatment However thawing followed by refreezing adds considerably to tissue damage Therefore the frozen part should not be thawed if there is any possibility that it will be refrozen Walking on frozen feet to shelter and treatment is better than walking on feet that have been thawed Rewarming is accomplished by immersion of the affected area in water at 104 to 108 degrees (Fahrenheit) This should continue until a flush has returned to the entire affected area usually minutes the thawing process may be intensely painful After rewarming treatment varies with the severity of the injury The basic principles however are to keep the area clean and protected from further jure Daily treatment in a whirlpool bath is often used An occasional patient with a severe injury may later require surgery or even amputation In summary frostbite can usually be prevented by some foresight When it does occur prompt and thorough rewarming (without refreezing) in a water bath is the preferred treatment success the CPSC Bilbao says is toy chests Many injuries and deaths have occurred when young children were caught under the falling lids of toy chests The CPSC recommends that you either store your children’s toys on shelves or in toy chests with lids that lock when shoppers “Toy safety is important but especially during the Christmas season when 60 percent of the toys are purchased” says Steve Bilbao Extension safety specialist at Utah State they’re open Bilbao suggests these general guidelines for buying toys: Read labels Look for these importoxic flame tant resistant University “The major cause of accidents volving toys is when toys designed for older children fall into the hands of younger children” Bilbao says “The toy industry and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) do a good job of testing and labeling toys but that doesn’t do much good if the parents don’t read the labels” He says most of the injuries or deaths occur when young children swallow pieces of toys designed for older children For instance since 1978 the-- e has been a regulation requiring minimum size for baby pacifiers and rattles Before that many children were choking on rattles that were small enough to get lodged in their throats Another area of danger identified by washable hygienic material for stuffed toys and UL approved for electronic toys Buy the right toy for the right age Toy labels usually provide you with formation on the age group the toy is for but these are only designed guidelines Consider the abilities of the individual child Store toys properly Many accidents occur from toys not being put away when they’re not being used Adults can fall on them or younger brothers or sisters can get hold of a toy not tended for them Before you buy a toy make sure there is a safe place to store it Don’t add on Never hang toys on long strings or cords in which infants might become entangled The Hinckley Fire Dept held their 3rd
