It's thought that the recurrence of Heat and Cold injuries is due to changes in the hypothalmus brought about by the extreme changes to the body during the injury itself - in cases it's been noted that high fevers will make individuals more susceptible to heat and cold injuries for the same reason. Minor damage to the hypothalmus (the body's thermostat among other things) seems not to repair itself very easily.
