Hypothermia
Learn how to spot the signs of hypothermia, who's at risk, when to seek medical help, and how to prevent getting hypothermia.
The symptoms of hypothermia can vary depending on how low your body temperature has become. It can often cause confusion, poor judgement and changes in behaviour.
Hypothermia is caused by getting too cold, as the body loses more heat than it can generate and the body temperature drops below 35C (95F).
