Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hypothermia, a generalized severe cooling of the body, causes the person to shiver and have a feeling of extreme cold or numbness. Fatigue is followed by loss of coordination, thick speech, and disorientation. The skin appears blue and puffy and ash-colored for dark-skinned people, with the pulse being slow and weak. Core body temperature drops below 95° F. Breathing is slow and shallow, and the pupils are dilated. As the body temperature drops, the person experiences confusion, stupor, and unconsciousness.
