But seriously though, kids feel the cold less.

Maybe, but they're more likely to be killed by it under identical
conditions.

Unfortunately as we get older our metabolisms slow down.

I don't know exactly when I became as sensitive to cold as I am now,
but I know it was by age 15. I recall being teased for wearing winter
clothes out of season that year.

A friend is very sensitive to cold. A genetic test suggested that many of
her mitochondria don't function (I don't know what test was used).

How is she sensitive and has she always been that way? I suddenly
developed cold allergy in my early twenties, out of nowhere, that just
isn't going away. Is this something similar?
