Can you get hypothermia from staying in a cold shower for a long time?


Can you get hypothermia from staying in a cold shower for a long time?

??

Sure. People associate hypothermia with snowy weather and frozen oceans but "urban hypothermia" is the most common kind. Usually urban hypothermia happens when people are unable to pay their heating bill and live in a 50 degree Fahrenheit house all the time, but drunks fall asleep in cold showers. Some especially dumb people put them there and leave them there to try to wake them up.

You treat hypothermia with hot packs in the groin and under the armpits and a warm blanket. If you warm someone up too fast (sticking them back in a hot shower) their body just sort of quits.

um, im afraid to answer this question. My reasoning is if I saw yes, your could get hypothermia, you would try and use it as suicide. If I said no, I don't know what you would say. My honest answer is I don't know:-):-p
