Check out this episode of Altiedge where I discussed Frostbite with Satyadeep. He is an accomplished world record-holder mountaineer and a trainer.

Frostbite is a preventable illness caused by exposure to subzero cold environments. Adequate precautions and clothing prevent its development, but once it sets in, it is often irreversible and difficult to manage.

We discussed the symptoms and early signs of this condition. We also discussed the preventive measures and treatment options, among various other aspects related to frostbite.
