Our skin is where we sense things in the environment. There are a few possibilities with a major burn victim. They can be left with raw skin, which is more sensitive to anything. Or, since the skin has been through high temperatures, it's used to those high temperatures. The brain thinks room temperature is freezing when it's been through major burns. Vote me Brainliest!

Because the skin controls your body temp and if your skin is burned , it messes with the temp making your body colder which leads them to become hypothermic

WHAT Is COLD NESS ?

<h3>WHAT Is COLDNESS ? </h3>

Cold is the presence of low temperature, especially in the atmosphere. In common usage, cold is often a subjective perception. A lower bound to temperature is absolute zero, defined as 0.00 K on the Kelvin scale, an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale. This corresponds to −273.15 °C on the Celsius scale, −459.67 °F on the Fahrenheit scale, and 0.00 °R on the Rankine scale.

Since temperature relates to the thermal energy held by an object or a sample of matter, which is the kinetic energy of the random motion of the particle constituents of matter, an object will have less thermal energy when it is colder and more when it is hotter. If it were possible to cool a system to absolute zero, all motion of the particles in a sample of matter would cease and they would be at complete rest in this classical sense. The object would be described as having zero thermal energy. Microscopically in the description of quantum mechanics, however, matter still has zero-point energy even at absolute zero, because of the uncertainty principle.
