The popular half-gloves that leave fingers uncovered for texting may be good for communicating electronically, but they also may lead to permanent loss of fingers caused by exposure to the cold. Fingers are one of the first body parts to feel the effects of the cold and damp, and along with:
- toes
- ears
- nose
Fingers are frequently subjected to frostbite and even amputation. Skip the trendy gloves (for yourself and your kids!) and opt for something more sensible to save your fingers.
