Hypothermia – A Threat to Outdoorsmen — Hypothermia occurs when a person loses more heat
than his/her body can generate. Louisiana’s outdoorsmen should be aware of this threat, since many outdoor
activities take place throughout the winter months and many take place on the water. Hypothermia occurs
when a person has been in cold water or cold air long enough for body temperatures to be dangerously
lowered. The real threat arises when the onset of hypothermia is not recognized.
