Loss of sensation to cold; inability to feel or perceive cold temperatures.
From Greek 'kryos' (cold) plus 'anesthesia' (from 'an-' meaning without, plus 'aesthesia' meaning sensation). Medical terminology for numbness to cold.
Patients with cryanesthesia can't feel frostbite starting—they might lose fingers to cold damage because their warning system is broken, which is why many cold-water professions monitor crew members closely.
