frostbite

We’ve all been there—bundled up for winter, feeling relatively warm… except for those two body parts that refuse to cooperate: your ears and your nose. Well, back in 1873, a 15-year-old from Farmington, Maine, decided he was done suffering and came up with a revolutionary invention.

We often like to joke about how cold the weather in Maine gets in the wintertime. And, to be quite honest with you, we have to joke about it or we will probably all just cry.

Frostnip is treatable, but if the cold sets in further, the potential for superficial frostbite damage, and even deep frostbite damage is a real danger.

One of the most popular places in Maine to ride is the massive forest that encompasses Baxter State Park. That's where wardens say they just found a Maine man who had been missing on his snowmobile.

Maine State Police say a Bangor man who was injured in a crash on the Interstate in Dyer Brook suffered frostbite and hypothermia after running a mile in sub-zero temperatures to get help.
