After your feet go numb, what is the next sign of hypothermia? I need to know what to look for. My feet go numb first. After one or two fingers go numb, i decide it's time to get out. What signs do you look for that tell you it's DEFINITELY time to get out? btw even when just the feet have gone numb, i make sure i'm no more than about 100 meters from shore.

I found that after I came out of a very cold swim if they wrapped a blanket around me it made me start to shiver. It seemed to me the blankets held the cold in. I would not wrap a blanket around me until I was out of the water for about twenty minutes.
