Can you freeze in 67 degree weather?

Question

my ela teachers husband said that you can freeze and die in a room at the temp of 67 F without any clothes on. is it true?

Answer 1

true

Answer 2

Mostly, no.

Older people (senior citizens) have a problem maintaining their base body temp so they may have trouble in a room with a chill such as that. But normal healthy people will not.. Our bodies have a way of adjusting to the climate and a temp of 67 degrees is actually quite comfortable and will not lead to death.

Answer 3

You can not truly "freeze" since your body would need to get below 32F to actually freeze.

You can die due to hypothermia - which means that your body gets so cold that it dies.   You would probably need to be sick, old, or very undernourished for this to happen.   Usually, your body does a pretty good job of regulating its temperature.  You would just burn more fat to keep your body warm.  

But if you were sick, then yes you could die from cold.   But you wouldn't "freeze"

Good question.

Answer 4

You can't freeze in the sense that you will turn into ice, but you can die, especially if you are wet or if the wind is blowing.
