Brief Summary
This Clinical trial is being conducted to study the effectiveness of heat donation through head or torso in hypothermic rewarming efficacy using a human model for severe hypothermia. The purpose of the study is to compare the core rewarming effectiveness of the same amount of heat donation through the head or torso in treatment of hypothermia using a human model for severe hypothermia. The information obtained from this study will give a better understanding of heat-transfer mechanisms. This might help in the ongoing research in hypothermia treatment.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Healthy adults, who answer "No" to all the questions on a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q). Participants will also be interviewed to determine if they have any cardio-respiratory diseases, Raynaud's Syndrome, or any other conditions that can be aggravated by cold exposure.
You may not qualify if:
- A positive answer to any PAR-Q question, or any cardio-respiratory diseases, Renal dysfunction, Raynaud's Syndrome, past recreational drug use or any other conditions that can be aggravated by cold exposure.
