Freezing Fingers

Post by DebE13 »

I absolutely love my new job but I have a dilemma that needs to be resolved or I will be in for trouble. I spend time in a walk in freezer that is -8 to -12 degrees and my fingers aren't doing well. I made the mistake on Monday of not getting out to warm up and my fingertips are still very sensitive now. I'm hoping it isn't permanent damage. I've tried several different combinations of gloves and nothing seems to prevent my fingers from burning. I also need to be able to write as well as move boxes. I've looked on-line for gloves and came across a pair that is battery warmed. It' s a bit on the spendy side but would be worth the investment. I just want to be sure they do the job.

Anyone had any experience with this type of situation? Everything I've found on Amazon seems to have under par reviews.

Hi Deb,

Sorry to hear about your situation. You might want to check into heated ski gloves, I don't have any experience with them but you might find some with ratings.
