“Hokkairo”
If you leave the iron wet, it usually gets rusty, but this is a chemical reaction in which iron reacts to oxygen in the air to become iron oxide (secondary hydroxide).
A disposable body warmer effectively utilizes the heat generated when a chemical reaction occurs.
All you have to do is take it out of the bag and peel the thin paper. You can put it in your pocket or you can put it on your clothes if it is a type with sticky paper.
Only thing you have to be careful is low-temperature burn. A low-temperature burn is what causes symptoms such as erythema, blisters when a person at a temperature higher than the body temperature has been exposed for a long time. Low-temperature burn can damage deep parts of the skin, even though they are not so much on the surface of the skin. Since the heat applied to the skin is carried by the blood flow, pressing against the area where the body warmer is applied reduces the blood flow and increases the temperature and makes it easier to cause burn.
There is a Hokkairo for socks or creamy type to apply directly to the skin.
