Lysanderix Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 As a kid who was plagued by them every cold spell I wonder if they are still around or has climate change done away with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyn 1 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Me too. Coal fires - heat only reached my dad who sat with his feet on the oven hob. Wellies were never enough to keep our feet warm. Winters were real winters. No central heating or fitted carpets just lino and rugs on top of concrete floors. Not so much climate change but better standard of living perhaps though no doubt climate change occured due to things improving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysanderix Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 I read somewhere that being under weight was one cause…perhaps our diet was deficient although I also read that our wartime and post wartime diets were “heathy”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikeman Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I suffered from them as a kid, but since then have found out that cold feet cause chilblains, so ever since then I make sure I have warm feet (even heated socks when I go cycling in cold weather). That seems to have done the trick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
