Hypothermia is caused
by prolonged exposure
to the cold, but it doesn’t
take sub-zero tem
peratures. Also known
as cold exposure,
hypothermia is the
lowering of the body’s
inner core temperature
to dangerous
levels-typically 95*F
or below.
While extended ex
posure to the cold can
harm anyone, it is
particularly hazardous
to the elderly. Nearly
half of all hypothermia
victims are over 65.
Hypothermia can be
irevented. Dressing

UNIVERSITY PARK
- There are as many
reasons for farming as
there are part-time and
small farmers in
Pennsylvania.
Some families have
jobs in town but prefer
to live in the country;
some grew up on a farm
and desire to return;
while some nonfarm
families desire to farm
because of surplus
resources, such as land,
labor, or buildings.
Other families want to
produce some of their
own food, selling the
surplus to pay for other
farm operations.
Whether your reason
for farming is surplus
time (labor), have
money to invest,
resources, need tax
shelter, you probably
need help with some
early decision-making.

resist moisture.
But wet clothing is not
the only way body heat
is taken away, says
Mrs. Dorricott. Human
heat naturally radiates
from the body—from
the head, in particular.
An uncovered head can
consume up to 75 per
cent of the body’s heat.
Body heat is lost
through conduction.
Touching metal in cold
weather draws heat
from the body.
The fourth way is
evaporation. When you
work up a sweat,
evaporation takes heat
from the body. Simply
breathing also allows
heat to escape and
“convection”-the chil
ling effect of
wind-intensifies the
loss of body heat.
Proper clothing, food
supply, shelter and
knowledge, topped with
common sense, are the
crucial components of a
safe venture in the cold.
If you suspect
hypothermia, try to
reach warm shelter as
soon as possible. Drink
warm, non-alcoholic
beverages and wrap
yourself in blankets. If a
hypothermia victim is
unconscious, but
breathing, bring him to
a warm shelter and
wrap him in blankets;
when the victim regain,
consciousness and can
swallow, give him warm
drinks. If the victim is
not breathing, give
artificial respiration.
Hunters, hikers,
backpackers, cross-co
untry skiers, and
snowmobilers, should
be aware of this hazard.
Always inform someone
that you are going, and
when you plan to return.
Have them check to
make sure you return
safely.
To avoid hypothermia
try to be warm and
comfortable. Weather
