Hypothermia

Hypothermia is defined as a body core temperature below 35.0 °C (95.0 °F). Symptoms depend on the temperature. In mild hypothermia there is shivering and mental confusion. In moderate hypothermia shivering stops and confusion increases. In severe hypothermia there may be paradoxical undressing, where a person removes their clothing, as well as an increased risk of the heart stopping.

Hypothermia has two main types of causes. It classically occurs from extreme exposure to cold. It may also occur from any condition that decreases heat production or increases heat loss. Commonly this includes alcohol intoxication but may also include low blood sugar, anorexia, and advanced age, among others.Body temperature is usually maintained near a constant level of 36.5–37.5 °C (97.7–99.5 °F) through thermoregulation. Efforts to increase body temperature involve shivering, increased voluntary activity, and putting on warmer clothing. Hypothermia may be diagnosed based on either a person's symptoms in the presence of risk factors or by measuring a person's core temperature.

Plot

On an icy lake, Ray Pelletier scouts out a good ice fishing spot for his family. He spots something bloody on the ice near a hole, walks toward it and falls through when the ice breaks. Back at the cabin, his wife Helen, son David and his son's girlfriend Gina are waiting for him. Ray has been struggling for hours to get out of the hole. Helen asks David and Gina what their plans are after college, and they mention that they will be joining the Peace Corps and going to Uganda following graduation.

Meanwhile, something in the water watches Ray as he struggles. He finally gets out of the water as his family goes out searching for him. The creature follows David as he walks on the ice. David finds Ray passed out from exhaustion. They return to the cabin, where Gina examines him. Ray assures everyone he is fine. The creature watches the family from a window.

Jimmy the water's cold out there
You've been out there for hours, Jimmy
Come on... it's time for dinner...
Look out for Hypothermia,
Your nuts are so small,
Because it's cold in the water today...
You can't feel your feet,
You can't feel your helmet,
You can't feel your legs,
And you're all sleepy and stuff!
Look out for Hypothermia!
You're just a kid,
You're too young to die today...
No fuck it! I want you to die you little shit!
It puts the lotion in the basket,
Take off your cloths cause you're cold,
And you're gonna die!
Look out for Hypothermia,
Look out for Daddies beatings,
Look out for Mom...
She wearing those shoes that you hate,
Your life is going before your eyes,
And you remember the way,
That ice-cream tasted,
LOOK OUT FOR HYPOTHERMIA!
Dead's your life, your dead...
Your dead...
Your dead...
It puts the lotion in the basket
