Tips on Treating Frostbite

1. Once you have thawed the frostbitten tissure, DO NOT allow it to freeze again. The more often tissue freezes and thaws, the deeper the damage. If the victim will soon be exposed to freezing temperatures again, wait to treat frostbite.
2. NEVER rub or massage frostbitten tissue. Rubbing frostbitten tissue will result in more severe damage.
3. DO NOT use any heating devices, stoves, or fires to treat frostbite. Victims cannot feel the frostbitten tissue and can be burned easily.
4. In a pinch, body heat can be used to thaw frostbite. For example, placing frostbitten fingers under the arm.
