- Human local and total heat losses in different temperature
It's curious that once you match parts for a given area, 0.001 m² for example, neck stands out. Covering it is practical and less common than others parts.
Will is forcing the body to change the cell lipid composition by wearing heavier clothing/acessories on critical regions such as near the typhoid?
But the extremities are often compromised, you must be familiar with these Raj quotes:

- Human local and total heat losses in different temperature
"A total of 16 subjects were recruited to participate in this study, including 8 males and 8 females. The subjects were all undergraduates or graduate students between the age of 23 and 27 years old. During the whole experiment, they simulated light activity (sedentary), and the clothing thermal resistance was 0.52 clo."
"In Fig. 4, the radiation heat loss for each part normally decreases as the operative temperature increases. The radiation heat losses of thigh and leg change greater with the operative temperature than those of the other parts, because the areas of thigh and leg are bigger than the other parts. In 37 °C, the radiation heat loss for the most parts is less than zero, and the heat loss becomes heat gain for the local body."
"In 23 °C (Fig. 4), the thigh has the maximum radiation heat loss, while the neck has the minimum value. The difference between thigh and neck is 7.9 W. As the operative temperature increases, the difference decreases. The difference is 2.7 W in 33 °C which is the least than that in other temperature. Compared to other temperatures, 33 °C is the closest to the surface temperature of human body, and the temperature difference between human body and environment is the least. So in 33 °C, the radiation heat losses of the ten parts are very close. In 37 °C, the difference increases again with operative temperature."

"There is one little anti-inflammatory tidbit that's a very easy to do that I haven't mentioned. It is connected to the fact that once the inflammation starts to lower your energy, it becomes a vicious circle and just having cold feet and cold hands creates an inflammatory condition of when the blood drops a few degrees to circulate through your cold feet, it releases inflammatory mediators. And so just, for example sleeping with the wool cap and warm socks can help greatly with inflammation as well as insomnia problems."
"[..]all animals that have estrogen, the female tends to look slightly anemic because it does something to slow the production of red blood cells, partly lowering the body temperature is one of the actions of estrogen and slowing down thyroid function, so probably the most common cause of apparent anemia as Broda Barnes pointed out is hypothyroidism. And I think he was the one that mentioned the experiment in which rats whose tailbones normally don't make red blood cells. In this experiment they folded the tail back and made a hole in the skin of the abdomen and stitched the tail so it was kept in that core body temperature and it quickly began producing red blood cells just raising the temperature. And so the first safest way to treat anemia might be to wear long wool socks to warm the extremities."
