Oh no. Cover up as well as you can and make sure you eat and drink lots of fluids. It's only mountains... | |

This is from wikipedia, so take it with a grain of salt...
* Stage 1 Body temperature drops by 1-2 °C (1.8-3.6 °F) below normal temperature (down to 35-37 °C or 95-98.6 °F). Mild to strong shivering occurs. The victim is unable to perform complex tasks with the hands; the hands become numb. Blood vessels in the outer extremities constrict, lessening heat loss to the outside air. Breathing becomes quick and shallow. Goose bumps form, raising body hair on end in an attempt to create an insulating layer of air around the body (which is of limited use in humans due to lack of sufficient hair, but useful in other species). Victim may feel sick to their stomach, and very tired. Often, a person will experience a warm sensation, as if they have recovered, but they are in fact heading into Stage 2. Another test to see if the person is entering stage 2 is if they are unable to touch their thumb with their little finger; this is the first stage of muscles not working. They might start to have trouble seeing. It's only mountains... | |

Are you a woman? Temperature can drop at certain times of the month - before ovulation or right before your period. It's totally normal. I mean if he did have sex he would break every rule Jehova's have regarding premarital sex so Prince is really just friends with them all anyway. | |
