My uncle went deer hunting with his brother and he came back disfigured and paralysed in one side of the face. He has to put eyedrops because one eye will not close and he feels like he got a shot from the dentist. It appeared brutally while hunting. Apparently it was cold and windy and they think it's the cause. I wonder how he was dressed and if it could have made a difference. I'm familiar with hypothermia, frosbites, snow blindness and trench foot, but Bell's Palsy is a new one for me. I think it's in the same family as stiffneck but it's worst and lasts longer. He was kind of embarrassed to show up at Christmas party. Do you have any experience or knowledge about this weird possibly cold related syndrome? It shows how fragile we are despite our desire to be tough.

Thanks
