The normal body temperature is 37C, below 35C is hypothermia which can cause slow pulse and low blood pressure, and above 38C is a fever which can lead to death. Cold causes injuries like frostbite from vascular spasm or thrombosis, and trench foot from sustained exposure to cold wet conditions. If caught in an open field during a thunderstorm, seek shelter immediately and avoid tall objects, find a low area and make yourself as small a target as possible until 30 minutes after the storm passes.

There are local effects of cold causes injury to the body first is the Frostbite is the tissue death from vascular spasm or thrombosis. Second is Trench feet or Immersion foot is an injury to foot and occurring after sustained exposure to cold under moist condition or cold water.
3. What will you do if you are in an open field during a thunderstorm?
I will seek shelter immediately, even if caught out in the open field. In a thunderstorm, there is nowhere outside that is safe. If you find yourself outside far from a safe place, avoid standing near towering items like fences, cables, poles, and trees. Find somewhere low to take cover. The safest method while in thunderstorm is get indoors like houses for about 30 mins or stay inside the car that is hard-topped vehicle and not safe are on open field and taking shelter on the tree. Furthermore if you cannot get indoors or in a vehicle, go to the lowest area and make yourself as small a target as possible
