Humans are tropical animals. We are adapted to a warm climate. When exposed to cold, the body tries to stay warm. If the body is cooling off, circulation decreases in arms, legs, ears, and nose so that the rest of the body can stay warm. When temperatures are below freezing, ice may form in these areas with less circulation.

* Nonfreezing cold injuries are also caused by cooling of the skin. In immersion injuries, the nerves and blood vessels are damaged after exposure to cold, wet conditions at or above freezing temperatures.

* Pernio is caused by exposure to cold for a long period of time without freezing or by very wet conditions.

* Raynaud syndrome is an abnormal narrowing of the blood vessels with cooling of the fingers or toes.

* Cryoglobulins are proteins, which are normally dissolved in the blood, that become solids or gels when cold.

* The formation of hives in response to cold exposure of the skin is called cold urticaria.

normally what that means is that your not having good circulation in your legs. You might want to have it checked. Also try exercise--it will get the blood flowing and may help (will warm you up, too!) Take notice of where and how you sit--you might be cutting off the circulation in the chair (I'm short--if I sit on a couch that is too long for me, my feet freeze cuz the circulation gets cut off at the calf where it is hitting the end of the chair--make any sense?)

Most likely just poor circulation. Has there been any change in your weight or activity level in recent months? Ask your doctor.

females are plenty greater valuable than adult males because of the fact they do no longer devote all the crime and do all the evil that so-reported as "adult males" do. Or could cowards be a greater valuable be conscious for all the undesirable adult males? helpful females devote crimes too yet no longer almost as in many cases as adult males. And what on the earth ever got here approximately to actual adult males? people who rescue and safeguard females rather of abusing them like only cowards do?
