Relatively few people "freeze to
death," since death occur* long
before the body temperature
reaches the freezing point, although
extremities may freeze if exposed to
severe cold
Many people, even those who
work outside in dangerously cold
weather, misjudge the elements,
particularly wind-chill,” Or Price
added A brisk wind combined with a
temperature slightly below freezing
can increase the chilling effect on
exposed skin by almost 50 degrees
below the thermometer reading
Anyone who must tie outside in
very cold weather should be acutely
aware of weather forecasts and
should pay attention to increases in
wind They should wear loose fitting,
layered clothing, gloves and face
protection and should have an
emergency plan for staying warm if
conditions worsen, " Dr Price said
He added that common sense and
at least a rudimentary under
standing of the dangers of wind-chill
are essential for anyone preparing to
be outside in severe cold "The
practical advice is to stay home and
stay warm But if you must go out.
know what you are up against and
prepare for it." Price said
Often praised for its clear skies,
and sometimes cursed for its searing
summer heat waves Texas is not
well-known for the severity of its
winters But the Texas Department
of Health warns that extreme cold is
part of the Texas climate, and
residents should recognize its
dangers
Dr Clift Price TDH Associate
Commissioner for Personal Health
Services said, "Every year people
die from the cold in Texas I'm not
referring to those who are killed in
traffic accidents on ice and snow or
those who have heart attacks from
overexertion while shoveling snow
I'm talking about the ones whose
primary cause of death was extreme
loss of body heat hypothermia
From 1980 to 1985 some 86 Texans
died from excessive cold because of
the weather according to the TDH
Vital Statistics Bureau
The most frequent victims of

Dr Price explained Childrens
small bodies radiate heat reserves
faster than adults People who are
chronically ill, using medications,
drugs, or excessive alcohol may
have lower resistance to sharp
temperature changes, and may
react slowly in emergencies Beyond
age 65 some persons begin to lose
their natural reflex to shiver. which
is both an automatic warming
mechanism to stimulate the circula
tion and a means of alerting the
individual to dangerous tempera
ture
Hypothermia begins when the
deep body temperature drops to 95
degrees, just less than four degrees
below normal The victim becomes
lethargic and confused Drowsiness,
slurred speech, falling blood
pressure, shallow breathing, and a

receives warmth coma and death

"A surprising number of hypother
mia victims die in their own homes
quietly, before anyone realizes the
danger With our current understan
ding of the condition, we believe that
many hypothermia deaths in the
past may have been mistakenly
attributed to other causes such as
heart attack," Dr Price said

traffic accident reported over the
holiday weekend in Lee County, and
no injuries were reported in either
accident
Statewide, at least 21 people died
on Texas roads and highways during
the Christmas holiday, said the DPS
officials had predicted that 23
people would be killed in the 54 hour
period through midnight Christmas
"We re certainly pleased that the
death toll did not reach 23." said
DPS spokesman David Wells "One
reason we didn't have as many
fatalities as predicted is because
there weren't as many multiple fatal
accidents.”
Wells said 29 percent, or six. of the
fatalities occurred in single car
accidents
However, the worst accident on
Christmas day was a three-car
wreck that killed three people near

James H Stinnett, 75, of Dallas and
MartinC Althaus, 61, of Huntsville,
were also killed in the crash. Wells
said
The drivers of the two other cars
and two other passengers in
Crawford's car were taken to area
hospitals, W ells said
