Frostnip Is A Bitch

Frostbite's little sister is no joke. Frostnip is painful and can take weeks to heal.  I got this nip on top of Mt. Titlis in Switzerland. It was -18 degrees, and I was appropriately bundled up, but I couldn't quite get the photos I wanted with my huge gloves on.  And voila, frostnip. Even though I only had them off for a minute or two.  It was painful and ugly and lasted a couple of weeks, but it could've been much worse. Do yourself a huge favor and be more careful than you think necessary.  An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.  So keep your hands and ears and all the other parts you value nice and bundled.
