Canadians will continue to bundle up in the country's east this weekend as a recent bout of extreme cold persists in much of Quebec and the Atlantic provinces. CTVNews.ca looks at the signs and symptoms for frostbite and hypothermia to watch for if exposed to extreme cold.
Although this blast of winter weather should be "short lived," Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips, with temperatures expected to rise by the end of the weekend, experts say there are a number of signs of frostbite and others symptoms to watch for if exposed to extreme cold.
If you start hyperventilating or notice your heart is beating faster, Labos says that's another reason to get indoors. Frostbite, the federal department says, can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with wind child. After a while, the body is no longer able to maintain its core temperature and the opposite begins to happen — the heart rate slows, blood pressure drops, people start feeling sluggish and potentially fall into a coma, which Labos says is how people die from cold exposure.
