Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The surrounding air does not have to be below freezing for hypotherothermia is a condition where the body loses heat faster than it can produce it, resulting in a dangerously low body temperature. It can occur in various temperatures, including above freezing, if a person is exposed to cold temperatures for an extended period of time or if their body is unable to regulate heat properly.
