Discuss the two types of frostbite and treatment • Superficial- Ice crystals form in the upper skin layers after exposure to temperatures of 32 degrees or lower • Deep Frostbite- Ice crystals form in the deeper tissues after exposure to a temperature of 32 degrees or lower. • Treatment- Get victims indoor, re-warm the area by placing them in warm water or with hot water bottles. Never rub frostbite areas and seek medical attention immediately
