“Ice in his veins”

This is really what you're thinking about on a Monday morning?

It is entirely too early on a Monday to be this high.

Now imagine if your veins were filled with ice (below 32° F). You’d drop dead in minutes. Not to mention the potential blockage of blood flow, which is far more dangerous.

Yes, I was very much aware that death was near if my veins had actual ice in them.

It would not take minutes. You would not have the opportunity to die from hypothermia, you would die of blood poisoning first.

Great thread to warm up my downvoting finger

Yo my n word with an a on the end, pass that shite!

After a half Ironman back in 2018 I passed out in the post race tent and was brought to the med tent. My body temp was incredibly low (caused by dehydration) but even though they had fluids on hand they couldn't give me an IV because they had no way to warm the fluid and they didnt want to drop my body temp anymore.

shite got scary for a while as I was in & out of consciousness, really unable to formulate a thought much less speak that thought, freezing my arse off with temps easily in the mid 80s. Eventually a doctor put the bag in the sun and "guessed" when he thought it was warm enough to give to me

Sometimes they say "Cool as a cucumber". WTF is that about?

Way too early to be smoking all the pots sir
