what level does hypothermia occur
Hypothermia happens when your body temperature drops way below normal, causing the circulatory, respiratory, and nervous systems to slow down. Normal body temperature is around 98.6 Â°F (37 Â°C). Hypothermia happens if your temperature drops to 96 Â°F (35.5 Â°C) or below. Hypothermia often happens gradually, but it can happen within minutes, such as if someone falls through the ice into cold water. Then your body starts to lose heat faster than it can produce it.
