What condition occurs?

What condition occurs when a victim of hypothermia beleives they are to warm and start to rip off their clothes?

[Ethel]

Vasodilation

[mrs_overall]

Stage 1 of hypothermia (mild)- shivering, groginess & muddled thinking
Stage 2 - (moderate) - violent shivering which can stop suddenly, an inability to pay attention, slow shallow breathing & a weak pulse
Stage 3 (severe) - loss of consciousness, death.

You are referring to stage 2, but not all sufferers start to rip off their clothes etc.

Nymphomania? I wonder if we have any sufferers on here?

I very much hope so!
