Original Note:
Continuous foot exposure to cold and wet environments, like a moisture-trapping plastic bag, has a risk of causing extremity-threatening trench and immersion foot syndromes. Foot abrasion and friction from a plastic bag can lead to blisters and severe infections. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK482364/ https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1087613-overview https://www.nhsinform.scot/illnesses-and-conditions/injuries/skin-injuries/blisters https://www.cdc.gov/disasters/trenchfoot.html https://www.uptodate.com/contents/nonfreezing-cold-water-trench-foot-and-warm-water-immersion-injuries
