Abstract: Cold is responsible for more excess deaths and disorders than heat is. The higher figures aren’t often apparent, however, as cold snaps don’t have the same immediate impact as heatwaves do. Cold-related illnesses manifest itself in much more subtle ways at first: kidneys produce more urine, hands and feet are constantly cold, or the blood pressure rises markedly. There are also the annual episodes of sneezing, wheezing and coughing. If the exposure to the cold persists, the ill effects lead to more serious problems such as frostbites or hypothermia.
