reduces the ability of the hand to feel and
regulate temperature, causing numbness and
heat sensations and may cause nerve damage

and circulatory tissue death.

disease are known, but cold weather, smoking
and other diseases that affect blood vessels
and blood circulation as well as large and long­lasting impact of shocks are considered factors

warm
