Carl from Fife Lake, MI, Their lips are blue, they are shivering, you know they are cold...but they still won't

and lots of
silver bass in May. When your lips turn blue, it means your body isn´t getting enough oxygen. When
you are exposed to cold, your body re-directs the flow of blood from the skin to the
vital organs in an attempt to conserve the warmth for the heart, brain, and kidneys.
While swimming in cold water, our bodies attempt to remain warm and our blood
vessels narrow (contract) so that blood flow to the skin is reduced to conserve body
heat. This is called "cyanosis." (If you saw the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding,
cyanosis is derived from the color cyan, which comes from kyanous, the Greek word
for blue). During cyanosis, tissues are uncharacteristically low
on oxygen, and therefore tissues that would normally be filled
with bright oxygenated blood are instead filled with
darker, deoxygenated
blood which appears
blue.

After you leave the
water and warm up,
your blood begins to
circulate normally
through your skin
again, and your red
lip color returns....but,
I think we all know
that blue lips mean it's
time to get out of the
water....
