In return, those who disagree have offered this:

It has been passed on to me that some key controlling organs (glands) for these functions are located in the head/neck area and must be attended to in treating hypothermia. Thus, I have always taught that in...
...it flies in the face in other laboratory research and massive amounts of real world experiences.
Somehow I find more credibility in the various thermal images I’ve seen...
Opinion, conjecture, anecdotel evidence, outdated research from 1957...Well, now that I've alienated a good portion of this boards most active members, I think I'll let this one go. It's been fun playing but I have a feeling the Moderators may be getting tired of this thread.
