2 degrees is required to MAKE you shiver. This (along with reduced

My fingers don't mind the cold, they in fact go RED to increase blood to
them to prevent frostbite.

How can that be!? Your blood reduces flow to your extremities when very
cold, to protect your vital organs.

Your fingers and toes are more important. Your "vital organs" are
inside you and much warmer anyway. Try shoving just your hand in a tub
of cold water right now. Leave it in there for a while, your hand will
go red. That's MORE blood to protect it.

Tell me! what parts of the body tend to get frostbite first if it's not
fingers and toes?

In Uncle Peter's case, I'd imagine it would be his dickhead.

Absolutely impossible, that area has the best blood flow of all your body parts.
