Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
in fall, when the temperature is so mild that wearing just a shirt is comfortable, can set the stage for hypothermia (McCafferty 58). Four conditions set this potentially fatal stage,
either alone or in combination. These are: "cool but not necessarily cold temperatures of 45 degree F. and below," "wind chill," "wetness-meaning rain, snow, immersion or perspiration buildup," and "an
unprepared victim" (McCafferty 58). Fatalities occur every year due to hypothermia, especially in regions prone to dramatic temperature shifts (McCafferty 58). Hypothermia refers to having a core body temperature that
is less than 95 degree F. and it occurs when individuals are exposed to excessive cold ("Hypothermia"). For example, in November 2005, a 49-year-old man parked his car near
a wooded area in order to go deer hunting just before sunset, but soon became lost ("Hypothermia"). He walked roughly six miles, and after night fall, a mixture of
rain and snow began to fall, which lowered the temperature to between 28 and 40 degrees F. ("Hypothermia"). His body was found 30 hours after the time he left his
car, dressed in "thermal underwear, jean, wool socks, sneakers, a cotton shirt, an oil-cloth coat and a cowboy hat," but all of this clothing was wet ("Hypothermia"). The death was
due to a fatal heart arrhythmia brought on severe hypothermia ("Hypothermia"). Stories involving hunters who have become hypothermic can get very bizarre, due to the fact that as cold
numbs the brain, it can cause hallucinations and weird changes in perception (Donahue 78). One of these perceptual hallucinations that the hypothermic person may suffer is that he thinks he
is overdressed and will "rip off layers of clothes" (Donahue 78). One fatality, which occurred in Teton County, Wyoming, involved a hunter who stripped naked and then climbed a tree
