bundle up make sure to cover up all of
that exposed skin and winter is coin
welcome to watchmojo.com ting down the
coolest facts we could find about
freezing to death or getting chillingly
close to it
antifreeze number five victims of
hypothermia often undress Petaquilla
make sure clothes follow survey of
information covering nearly 20 years of
data revealed that approximately 25
percent of those who died from
hypothermia were found in varying states
of undress uh nathan is the fellow was
just wearing underpants oh the German
researchers reported that victims
generally started undressing below the
waist and work their way up in cases of
outdoor deaths it was possible to follow
the Erie trail of clothing to find the
unfortunate souls the researchers
explain this so-called paradoxical
undressing as a result of nerve damage
from extreme cold as hypothermia reaches
its final stages victims feel
irrationally hot and try to cool down
even more mysteriously many of those who
died exhibited what’s called terminal
burrowing behavior meaning they crawled
into a small space to die just want to
crawl into a hole and die number four
freezing to death can be reversed
in 2001 Canadian toddler Erica Nordby
was found outside and nothing but a
diaper her heart had been stopped for
two hours and her body temperature was a
chilly 61 degrees Fahrenheit or 16
degrees Celsius despite being clinically
dead she was revived and suffered no
long-term health consequences now
scientists believe they have a better
understanding how something like this is
possible
the answer is anoxia induced reversible
suspended animation
in other words oxygen starvation
biologist mark Roth describes it as
quote turning down the dimmer switch on
biological processes to improve
survivability practical applications
utilizing this new information would
help those suffering without immediate
access to medical care or to preserve
organs for transplant number three a
Japanese man survived a three-week
hibernation maybe he melted no he’s just
hibernating sure that baby surviving
that two-hour freeze is incredible but
there are even more unbelievable
near-death freeze stories in late 2006
Mitsu Takahashi Koshi 35 year old
Japanese man fell while hiking and was
unable to get up
she was unconscious for 24 days and only
remembers the feeling of warmth and
comfort before falling asleep despite
having almost no pulse multiple organ
failure and blood loss he was able to
make a full recovery with 100% of his
brain function hey Clem you know this
cat Lam no use like baby Erika it seems
that which eco she’s body entered a
hibernation like state that brought his
metabolism to a standstill which allowed
him to survive even without food and
water
number two surgeons freeze cancer to
death
so maybe the cold isn’t all bad research
in the field of cryosurgery also known
as cryo ablation or cryotherapy has
yielded some promising results by
freezing malignant tumors using liquid
nitrogen the cancerous cells responded
much better to methods of treatment that
were ineffective on their own after
applying the freezing agent the tumors
can be treated with drugs the protective
cell membrane of cancer cells is
normally very challenging to penetrate
but the process of freezing the tumor
makes it much easier for the drug to do
its job the latest research is combining
cryoablation with nanoparticle delivery
systems for the drugs which should
increase the drugs efficacy even more I
finally invent something that works
number one arctic frogs survive the deep
freeze with sugar Arctic wood frogs
don’t just hibernate through winter they
freeze through it up to 60% of their
bodies freeze solid
but in the spring bafflingly they thaw
out and go on their hoppy way recent
research from the University of Alaska
Fairbanks is finally starting to piece
together how this can be researchers now
think the amphibians prepare for winter
by performing smaller cycles of freezing
and thawing before the big sleep that
raises the level of glucose in their
blood up to ten times their normal level
normally freezing would draw all of the
liquid out of a cell causing it to die
but having a lot of glucose in there
helps cells guard against desiccation oh
thanks for sugar sugar this keeps all of
the most important organs and body
functions safe while the frogs injure
the longest coldest winters of any
amphibian with any luck this research
two sugars and Friesen will
revolutionize the popsicle industry just
kidding so what do you think have you
ever had hypothermia did it make you
undress and do you think we’ll see a
perfected method for cryogenic
hypersleep in our lifetimes for more
warm and cuddly top tens and
cold-hearted top fives be sure to
