Sickle Cell Disease and Cold Weather: Dos and Don’ts Dress warmly but in layers and carry an extra pair of dry socks. Stay hydrated (hot cocoa or herbal teas can be great). Carry and use a hand sanitizer frequently. Consider shopping online. Minimize continuous exposure to cold and windy weather or wet snow. Get plenty of rest and sleep, minimize stress, know your body and your limits. Make sure you have pain medications handy to start early in the event of a pain crisis.
