At least 36 people have died in Mexico in the last four months due to problems related to cold weather, the Mexican Health Ministry (SSA) said in a statement on Sunday.
According to the statement, 22 people died of toxicosis of carbon monoxide as some people burn firewood and charcoal to warm themselves during the cold spell of around minus 5 Celsius degrees which lasted four months in the north of Mexico.
Fourteen others died of hypothermia, Xinhua reported.
Health authorities recommended that people cover themselves properly to resist the extreme changes of temperature and refrain from taking medicines without consulting the doctor.
