Freezing so susceptible to colds and influenza commonly experienced during cold weather and rainy season.

Anemia

A simple blood test can detect if you are anemic. In women, estrogen levels fluctuate trigger anemia, especially during menstruation. This is what makes a person more sensitive to cold temperatures.

Raynaud's disease

This disease makes blood vessels and arteries narrowed so that the blood supply to the skin is limited. As a result the skin to constrict and more at risk of freezing.

Low weight
