‘Hypothermia aur frostbite ka risk hai’: Dhruv Rathee goes cold dipping in snow at -10°C
Dhruv Rathee posted a video of himself jumping into the snow. He explained that he does it to feel motivated. Would you try it?
Dhruv Rathee’s new video has divided the internet. While some were in awe of him, others accused him of copying the legendary football player Cristiano Ronaldo. What did he do? The influencer jumped in the snow at -10°C with nothing on except a pair of boxers. People are reminded of Ronaldo after Rathee’s video as the footballer took a dip in -20°C water during Christmas.
“Cold dipping in snow at -10°C,” Rathee wrote as he shared his video. It opens with him standing in a snow-covered area in his boxers. He then goes on to show his stunt, but the video is paused to convey an important message. He warns people that jumping into snow without proper precautions can cause hypothermia and frostbite.

What are hypothermia and frostbite?
In case you’re unaware, hypothermia is a condition when the body loses heat faster than it can produce heat. It can cause shivering, mental confusion, slow breathing, a weak pulse, and even death in extreme cases.
Frostbite happens in freezing temperatures and is most common in the fingers, toes, nose, and ears. The symptoms include numbness, blisters, pain, swelling, and skin discolouration. In some cases, it can lead to irreversible tissue damage or necrosis.
