The state’s medical professionals are telling people to stay inside as dangerously cold temperatures linger in the area.

If you have to go outside, layer up and protect your most vulnerable areas. That includes ears, cheeks, and fingers.

Detroit Medial Center Chief Medical Officer Rudy Valentini talks about frostbite and what you should do if you were exposed.

“Maybe your fingers, toes, your ears, your nose, they get a little, maybe a little stiff,” Valentini said. “They might get a little almost waxy and pale. This would be an early sign of frostbite. You want to get inside. You want to slowly warm up the skin. You want to make sure that you maybe take some warm cloths and slowly warm. You don’t want to put anything hot on a potential frostbitten area.”

If your skin becomes numb or starts to tingle, it’s best to go to the emergency room for treatment.

Corewell Health in St. Josseph says they haven’t treated anyone for weather related injuries yet.
