minus-square@jet@hackertalks.comlinkfedilinkEnglish14•2 years agoImmunity is a strong word. You can acclimate to different environments and temperatures. Brown fat tissue can be increased when exposed to cold temperatures over a long period of time, in a form of adaptation. This type of fat helps produce heat, keeping you warmer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_adipose_tissue There is truth to the jokes of Minnesotans wearing shorts on the same day Floridian’s would wear winter clothes.
minus-square@bionicjoey@lemmy.calinkfedilink3•2 years agoYeah I wouldn’t use the word immunity, I’d say you can build up a tolerance.
