Hypothermia Signals include

[Ron Fogelson]

I got these from the MARINE CORPS CENTER FOR LESSONS LEARNED SAFETY CORNER e-mail here at work.

♦ Shivering
♦ Confusion
♦ Impaired judgment
♦ Numbness
♦ Drowsiness
♦ Weakness
♦ Dizziness
♦ Impaired vision

Five Stages of Hypothermia
1. Shivering
2. Apathy
3. Loss of consciousness
4. Decreasing heart rate and breathing
5. Death
Activity such as treading water only quickens heat loss. While awaiting rescue, the best thing to do is assume a Heat Escape Lessening Position (H.E.L.P.) that should reduce your body's heat loss by 50%. By using this position you will reduce direct exposure to the water of those body parts where heat is lost at a greater rate, such as armpits, ribs, groin and head. Your position will have to be adjusted depending on the PFD and clothing being worn.

H.E.L.P. -- Heat Escape Lessening Postures
This position reduces exposure of high heat loss areas of the body.  Wearing a PFD allows you to draw your knees to your chest and your arms to your sides.  Huddling with other people in the water lessens the loss of body heat and is good for morale.

Sounds like symptoms I have had when I say fishing and wife says honey-dos
