    it can actually be beneficial.

    improve circulation, aid muscle recovery if you're an athlete, and even improve cold tolerance.

    when I used to play rugby, we used to have ice baths after each game

    just ensure that you are in a warm environment afterwards .

    it is only a concern if you have any majour medical conditions.

    Yes. The day I first moved into my house. The gas company made a mistake. They thought they were turning "off" service, when in fact, they were supposed to turn service "on". I considered boiling water and having a bath instead. But I thought that would take too long and result in a lukewarm bath by the time I got the tub filled. So I just decided to endure a cold shower instead.
