⚠️ WEATHER ALERT: Extreme Cold in Winnipeg! ⚠️
With wind chills hitting dangerous levels over this weekend, Fair Havens Pharmacy wants to ensure all our neighbors stay safe. In these temperatures, frostbite can occur on exposed skin in as little as 2 to 5 minutes.
❄️ Know the Signs of Frostbite:
1. Frostnip (Early Stage): Skin looks red and feels very cold.
2. Superficial Frostbite: Skin turns white or pale and may feel «waxy.» You might feel a tingling or stinging sensation.
3. Deep Frostbite: Skin feels numb and hard. This is a medical emergency.
🛡️ Prevention & Care:
• Cover Up: Ensure no skin is exposed. Ears, nose, fingers, and toes are most at risk.
• Don’t Rub: If you suspect frostbite, do not rub the area. This can cause tissue damage.
• Warm up slowly: Use lukewarm water (not hot!) or body heat to rewarm.
• Stay Hydrated: Cold weather puts extra stress on your heart.
