Answer by  sanityrose (2664)

The first and most important symptom of hypothermia is a drop in body temperature below 95º. In Addition, symptoms of hypothermia include shivering you can't gain control over, confusion and possible hallucinations, body weakness, loss of coordination, cold/pale skin, drowsiness, and a lowering heartbeat and breathing. Hypothermia can happen in extreme conditions and long term exposure in simple damp-cold conditions.
