Basic First-Aid for Hypothermia
for all those folks in Unova who might need it, since everything's cold as shit!
Here's what I know:
Very gently, VERY CAREFULLY TO MOVE THEM AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE, remove them from the cold! If you can't do that, then act as a buffer from anything that might be worsening it, if you can!
Don't warm them up too fast! No heating pads, no hot water, none of that! It'll cause their body to freak the fuck out and they might go into cardiac arrest. AT MOST some WARM - not hot, WARM water for shit like frostbite.
Change them out of any wet clothes, or really just change their clothes at all bc they're probably really cold aswell - put a blanket over them and try to warm them up with body heat!!
Don't try to rub heat back into them!!!!! They probably have a bunch of ice shards that have formed in their muscles and if you move their flesh/skin/muscle around too much it'll rupture their insides and hurt lots!!!!
Try giving them moderately warm drinks!! Like, uh, hot cocoa or something!! Warm up their insides!!!!! BUT YOU CANT GIVE THEM ALCOHOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep an eye (or an ear [or both]) on their breathing and heart rate. They could go into critical condition if their body is struggling enough.
Get them to a medical professional as soon as possible!!!!
Please keep in mind this is UNPROFESSIONAL FIRST AID for MILD HYPOTHERMIA.
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GO TO A DOCTOR IF YOU'RE GOING PURPLE (or really just if you have any form of hypothermia, just to be safe.)
