Rewarming After Cold
Restoring core temperature after cold with dry layers, gentle movement, and warm drinks—watch for afterdrop, not instant hot baths if deeply chilled.
Rewarming after cold means restoring normal core temperature with dry layers, movement, warm drinks, and time—avoid jumping into scalding baths if you were deeply chilled. Afterdrop can lower core temp minutes after exit; shivering is the body's tool.
Gentle walking and clothing beat rubbing numb skin.
Common questions
-
Should you shower hot immediately after ice bath?
Gentle rewarming is safer if you were very cold—violent hot showers can worsen afterdrop confusion in some cases. Warm gradually and monitor how you feel.
