Mexico City - At least 36 people have
died in Mexico in the last four months due to problems related to
cold weather, the Mexican Health Ministry (SSA) said in a statement
on Sunday.
According to the statement, 22 people died of toxicosis of carbon
monoxide as some people burn firewood and charcoal to warm
themselves during the cold spell of around minus 5 Celsius degrees
which lasted four months in the north of Mexico.
Fourteen others died of hypothermia.
Health authorities recommended that people cover themselves properly
to resist the extreme changes of temperature and refrain from taking
medicines without consulting the doctor.
