Recognizing and treating frostbite (from the Cleveland Clinic)

What are the stages of frostbite?

Frostbite symptoms appear in three stages that include feeling:

Cold, sore and painful (frostnip).
Pins and needles (surface frostbite).
Numbness (deep frostbite).

If you notice any of the symptoms of the second or third stages of frostbite, get immediate medical treatment to prevent long-lasting damage.

@ai6yr real question: how do I tell the difference between frostbite and reynaulds in a cold environment?

@ai6yr i'm guessing for those losing digits there was probably a fair amount of alcohol involved at the game. I'm sure they never even noticed.
