This is actually a really important effect in the arctic, and this is the only reference to it on wikipedia. Medical references forthcoming.

One reference (However this is from overhead notes, so not sufficient as a formal ref):

3. Blood and Fluid Dynamics

A. Hunter's Response - prolonged exposure to cold will cause a vasodilation of blood cells.

Here's a better one from a published article:

As skin temperature continues to decrease to below 50 to 59 degrees Fahrenheit, the body begins a rhythmic cycle of vasoconstriction and vasodilation termed the hunter's response.

Complete change of content[edit]

Hello fellow editors, as you can see I have completely changed the content of the article. The old information was limited and incorrect, and the new information is supported by an article in a peer-reviewed journal which is not behind a paywall. I'm not an expert on this subject at all – I studied History and Public Administration – so I would appreciate it if others could check the source I provided an verify that I have interpreted it correctly.

Move of article[edit]

I've made some changes in the terminology. The referenced article by Daanen primarily uses the term hunting reaction, the terms hunter's response and Lewis reaction are mentioned by him as alternative terms. All three provide reasonable results if they are entered in Google Scholar, but hunter's response and especially Lewis wave give a very small amount of useful results. The term hunter's response seems in fact to be used only in the article by Filippone which is mention by Oska above. Considering that Daanen is the most recent and probably most authoritative source (100 citations according to Google Scholar) providing an overview of the subject, I think it's best to move the article to the name hunting reaction. I'd prefer to find consensus here first, but because there is almost no activity on this talk page, I'll be bold and do so right away. AlexanderVanLoon (talk) 10:16, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
