""I am a meat cutter, how do I prevent frost bites on my fingers? The doctor says there is already some nerve damage in my fingers as a result""
My Answer:
"Thank you for asking. Yes frostbite is something you want to take steps to prevent. The best advice I can think of is to wear cotton gloves that are available from most supplier when handling cold or frozen products, such as lunch meat or frozen food. That will help a lot, but then there is the problem with how to protect from frost bite when you are cutting meat. I liked to where my cotton gloves when cutting meat as well, but I would pull a pair of those elastic surgical gloves over them to keep them dry. That always worked for me. "
"One thing I was told by my uncle who served in the Korean conflict. In very cold temperatures a mitten is much safer to wear than a finger glove. With a finger glove each finger is exposed individually. But with a mitten your fingers are generating body heat touching each other."
