Hypothermia is a change in the body temperature and when your body is cold and cannot produce enough heat to get you warm again. You are very lucky if you sometimes even stay alive. How do we treat it? Make sure that the victim is breathing before you do anything and also make sure that you don't try and warm the body up to fast because that could make it even worse! Move the victim to a warm, sheltered place. If they are confused or don't know what is going on, call 111. Remove all of the wet clothing that the victim is wearing but leave all of the warm dry stiff on. Wrap the person with blankets- electric blankets work the best. What to do if someone in your group has a broken, sprained or bleeding part of the body? Broken bones: Some signs that someone has broken a bone is if you or your victim hears a cracking or grinding noise during the injury, there is swelling, bruising or tenderness around the affected area. If you find that the victims bone is broken you should seek for medical help very fast. Do not move the victim. Sprained bones: If the sprain involves the victims back or neck to not move the victim, if you do it could damage your nerves. Phone for emergency help and if the person must be moved, the neck and back must be immobilized first, keeping the head, back and neck stable. Bleeding: Apply pressure to the wound or cut to stop the bleeding and if it is really bad go to a doctor for stitches. If it is not so bad apply antiseptic cream to stop infection and put a plaster on it.

Persuasive paragraph about the Kaimai Mamaku Park.

Have you ever wanted to go to the Mamaku forest park up in the Kaimais? The Kaimai forest park is a great example of the NZ native bush.The Kauri Trees that are all around the forest have survived for years of being logged by humans, or abuse from vandals, and now they are under attack with a fungus that is called Phytophthora taxon Agathis. This forest is a MUST see thing thing in New Zealand with the amazing trees and everything that surrounds you. There are loads of well known tracks to choose from in New Zealand, but if you are looking for somewhere to enjoy your relaxing atmosphere without bumping into other walkers all through the day, this is an exceptional location for you to come for your holiday or even just a day. This park has an amazing history that has come from nature and humans over the years making a unique natural landscape that provides a hiking trip to remember.The North Island Kaimai Mamaku Forest Park covers and area of 37,000 ha and is one of the lesser known, or least visited, ranges in New Zealand. Waat could be better than this???
