Understanding Frostbite and Its Implications

Natalie investigates Burger Betty's frostbite, believing it to be key in tracking her. She consults Dr. Chris Moore, an expert in cold damage, to understand frostbite's effects. Natalie experiences frostbite conditions firsthand, learning how quickly frostbite can occur. Dr. Moore explains the body's response to extreme cold, highlighting how blood flow is redirected to protect vital organs, leaving limbs vulnerable. The discussion links Burger Betty's injuries, including multiple fractures and a pelvis injury, to her frostbite, suggesting that decreased blood flow contributed to her condition.
