How to spot and treat frostbite fast

With the winter storm sweeping across the country, frostbite is a real risk for anyone braving the outdoors—even for a few minutes. The most important thing? Watch for numbness, tingling, or skin turning pale or waxy, especially on fingers, toes, and your nose. Doctors at Akron Children’s Hospital are now using new treatments that can actually save tissue if you act quickly. If you think you or someone else has frostbite, get indoors, warm up gently, and seek medical help right away. Has anyone here ever experienced frostbite or know someone who has?
