Is it bad for your health in any way to jump into a nice hot bath directly after being in really cold weather?

No it is not. Unless you were so low in temperature that you were experiencing hypothermia, but other than that, it is fine

I think he should be ok hun. My cat jumped onto the cooker last week and burnt his little paws :-( But after a day he was fine. His fur most likely protected him from any serious damage. If he starts to meow more than usual or starts losing his fur, then take him to the vet just to be on the safe side. When he's calmed down, try looking at his skin. If it looks red and sore, give the vet a call and see whether you should take him in. He'll probably like to lie on the nice cold kitchen floor for the rest of the day :-) xx Emmie

I suggest you contact newstart@lvs.com.au - It is The Living Valley Springs Health Resort in Queensland Australia where I live. They are absolute experts when it comes to hot baths, they have steam baths there and also are experts on having hot baths like you would normally have in your own bath at home and when to have them. They also treat people with hot and cold baths for certain remedies to ailments. I used to put my hands under hot water at school when I was young and had been walking in the snow, it is very bad for you, please contact them, Dr Gary Martin or one of his expert staff will get you on the right track. Good luck.

can cause skin issues if not actual skin burns and shock.
warming up after the cold, even if fallen through ice and into water, is to slowly warm the person back up. NEVER warm them up fast.

yes, especially if you have frostbite and go into a very hot bath. you are supposed to warm gradually, as you do not want your body to go into shock.
