These have been some of the coldest months across the country and with a million things to worry about on a daily basis, I never would have thought about such a simple modification of removing your jewelry before preparing to go outside in the cold. Because frostbite usually affects your extremities and the parts of your body that are exposed, the most vulnerable areas are your hands, feet, ears, nose and face, especially if you have metal jewelry, it will intensify the effects of the chill, and can speed up the freezing of the skin and soft tissue. If it is too much to think about removing your metal jewelry on a daily basis or even being able to keep it covered, consider switching to a stylish plastic alternative, such as acrylic or Bioplast. This way all you have to do is keep warm!
