What kind of injuries or diseases/illnesses can occur from heat/cold exposure?

Answer 1

For cold exposure hypothermia or frost bite. For heat exposeure heat rash, dehydration, passouts, sun burn, skin canser, and heat strokes.

Answer 2

with cold you can get hypothermia from over exposure to the cold, this is where your body temp is gradually lowered and can be deadly, you can also have frost nip and following that frost bite. These are two different conditions, frost nip causes your joints and extremities to feel stiff and the skin to possibly start to crack and maybe even bleed, frost bite actually damages the skin to the point where large blisters form and if exposed for to long the skin and extremity can turn black and actually die, in this case all feeling is lost and the limb must beb amputated. Think of frost bite as a burn injury caused by the cold.
In the case of long term heat exposure you the first thing you will notice is dehydration, if you dont keep taking in fluids and you stop sweating then this is dehydration. You can also experience hyperthermia which is the exact opposite of hypothermia where the body temp is continually raised. You can experience dizziness and vomiting and even lose of consciousness, just like with the cold. You can experience what is called heat stroke which can kill you if you dont get the body temp lowered. In regards to diseases and illnesses, you can experience shock with either scenario and with cold you can also put yourself at risk for pneumonia. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Hypothermia is when you are exposed to cold temperatures for a long time and your body temperature drops below normal. When exposed to very cold temperatures, skin and underlying tissues may freeze, resulting in frostbite. A heatstroke happens when you're in hot weather for a long time and don't have enough fluids in your system. Your body temperature is usually greater than 104 F. Sun poisoning can be a result of sunburn.
