It can be caused by exposure to cold temperatures, prolonged immersion in cold water, or certain medical conditions. It is important to take precautions and dress appropriately in cold weather to prevent hypothermia.

Explanation

Wear proper winter clothing that insulates (layers) from the cold and lets perspiration evaporate (loose) while protecting from the wind, rain and snow. Protect feet and toes. Wear two layers of socks — cotton underneath a pair of wool socks is best — with a pair of well-fitted boots that come above the ankle.
