The term ๐ต๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐บ๐ถ๐ฎ is said to have been first recorded in 1885โ90. Antarctic explorers Ernest Shackleton & his team observed that body temperatures “below 94.2ยฐ, … … spells death at home”, though this probably referred to oral temperatures rather than core temperature & corresponded to mild hypothermia.
