Does ice and salt cause immediate frostbite when on arm??
2006-12-02 13:00:32 · update #1
If the ice is below the freezing point of water, the addition of salt causes freezing point depression, which allows for the solution to remain liquid/freeze at a lower temperature. If such a system were allowed to have sufficient contact for a long enough period, local cold-damage to tissues might result, giving a clinical picture indistinguishable from frostbite.

I doubt it... salt just raises the freezing point of ice, which would make it significantly colder, but I wouldn't say frostbite-inducing...
