Hot causes more harm than cold

[neuroleptics]

Hot......basically your tongue is hurt/ your skin is burned if u come into contact with extreme heat/ prolong exposure to heat. You would if only you stay for a very very long  time under non-straight away freezing condition. if the condition is freeze in contact, you would find yourself revived by doctors

...Or find various things in your body lacerated by ice crystals.

[freemod1espilon]

Both would be bad but is it worse to be exposed by both of them at once?

[ARTHANASIOS]

It depends... ever heard of frostbites? Frostbites can be as bad and lethal as the serious burns.

[Arum]

They're actually equally harmful.

Think.
Are you thirsty or hungry more when cold?
Are you thirsty or hungry more when hot?

In deserts, you need WATER. So your body ignores hunger and focuses on WATER, to cool you down.

In mountaintops, you need FOOD. So your body ignores thirst and focuses on FOOD, to warm you up.

Problem, human brain?




You will die from thirst, not hunger, in a very hot climate.

Actually, cold deserts exist. What makes a desert a desert is not the temperature, but the levels of moisture. So in the Himalayan deserts, you would feel as though you need food more than water. Or something like that.

True. However, when people think of deserts, they think of hot ones.

[Cheesy111]

Antarctica is technically a desert.  Food for thought.

[Wizy]

What defines a desert is the amount of precipitation, regardless of temperatures.

False, a human can live longer without food than without water.

[Mathematistic]

Well... think of it this way.
40+ degrees of body temperature can cause permanent damage to your body, even fatal.
The same degree of mortal damage can be inflicted by 24-28 degrees body temperature, which can cause paralysis/death.
Consider that the body is usually around 35-36 degrees, it seems like hot damage is more achievable...

*takes out medecine hat*

43° => max body temperature. After that your cells go kaboom, quite literally
41° => convulsions
33° => Coma start.
28° => min body temperature. Under that your heart stops beatin'.
