"Understanding how to treat most medical emergencies is key. Hi, I'm Captain Joe Bruni, and what I want to talk about is how to treat frostbite. Frostbite is basically the tissue of the body freezing. When this occurs, steps must be take to re-warm that area of the body and help prevent infection from incurring. Water should be warmed to between one hundred and four and one hundred and eight degrees, and then placed in some type of holding receptacle, where the affected body part can be immersed, and slowly warmed back up. Once the water cools below one hundred degrees, re-heated water should be placed again back in the receptacle or holding area to reheat the area. The area will slowly soften up and rewarm itself to the proper temperature. Afterwards, some type of aloe vera gel should be applied to help reduce the chances of infection from occurring, and possibly bandaging the area to also help reduce the chances of secondary infection. Remember, do not heat the water higher than approximately one hundred eight degrees, or a burn injury may ensue. I'm Captain Joe Bruni. Stay safe, and we'll see you next time."
