Maryland Health Officials Advise Residents to Guard Against Cold Weather Illnesses

The Maryland Department of Health is urging residents to take precautions as winter brings on the threat of cold-related illnesses, including frostbite and hypothermia. With temperatures dropping significantly, the health department emphasizes the importance of staying warm and recognizing the symptoms of these potentially life-threatening conditions.

Frostbite can occur when skin and underlying tissues freeze, often affecting extremities such as fingers, toes, and earlobes. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, and a pale appearance of the skin. Hypothermia, on the other hand, occurs when the body loses heat faster than it can produce it, leading to dangerously low body temperatures. Signs of hypothermia include shivering, confusion, and fatigue.

Residents are encouraged to dress in layers, stay indoors during extreme cold, and ensure that their homes are adequately heated. Additionally, those who must venture outside should limit their exposure and take frequent breaks to warm up. By taking these simple precautions, individuals can protect themselves and their loved ones from the harsh effects of winter weather.
