        @akhil There are things you can do counter them and keep yourself immune:
        • Moisturise your skin regularly with oil/cream.
        • Eat vitamin-C rich fruits and vegetables and drink sufficient fluids preferably warm fluids to maintain adequate immunity.
        • Keep dry, if wet, change clothes immediately to prevent loss of body heat. Wear insulated/waterproof shoes.
        • Warm the affected area of the body slowly with lukewarm water; do not rub the skin vigorously.
        • If the affected skin area turns black, immediately consult a doctor.
        • Maintain ventilation while using heaters to avoid inhaling toxic fumes.
        • Take safety measures while using electrical and gas heating devices.
        • For those with respiratory issues, avoid going out until unless there is an emergency, and cover the face when you do.
