Georgia Farm Bureau Safety: Hypothermia - When you hear about hypothermia, you usually envision someone stranded in a terrible winter storm. However, hypothermia can occur when it's wet, windy and up to 50 or 60 degrees Fahrenheit. This condition is most common in cold weather, but infants and the elderly can develop hypothermia at temperatures greater than 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

Induced hypothermia - Induced hypothermia (also known as therapeutic hypothermia) is the intentional induction of hypothermia for medical purposes. Such practice has been shown to reduce brain damage and increase survivability in certain cases of cardiac arrest.
Hypothermia (band) - Jönköping, Sweden
Paradoxical undressing - Paradoxical undressing is the removal of clothes, blankets, or other coverings by those suffering severe hypothermia. This behavior is not fully understood, but may relate either to a malfunction in the hypothalamus, or to the exhaustion and subsequent relaxation of muscles which normally contract blood vessels near the skin surface.
Submarine Escape Immersion Equipment - Submarine Escape Immersion Equipment (SEIE) MK-10, also known as Submarine Escape and Immersion Equipment is a British designed whole-body suit and one-man life raft that allows submariners to escape from a sunken submarine. The suit provides protection against hypothermia and is rapidly replacing the Steinke hood rescue device.
Mamert Stankiewicz - Mamert Stankiewicz (1889-1939) was a Polish naval officer of the merchant marine, the commander of Lwów, SS Polonia and finally the ocean liner MS Piłsudski. During the opening months of World War II he sank with the latter ship and died of hypothermia.
