How could you die from hypothermia without getting frostbite?

Best Answers

Hypothermia can be induced by swimming in cold water, fairly easily. Your core temperature drops fairly quickly, your peripheral (arms & legs) circulation constructs rapidly to shunt (reoute) blood to vital organs (heart & lungs, but, regrettably, not the head), so anaerobic activity builds up lactic acid. read more

You can get hypothermia in a 90 pool, as the body will never be able to produce enough heat to raise the temp of the pool. Eventually it will exaust the body and hypothermia will ensue. read more
