You also hear it as a verb, though ‘you’ll get frostbite’ or ‘your fingers will get frostbitten’ sounds more natural than ‘you’ll frostbite your fingers.’ Though actually, a bit of red, itchy swelling from damp cold is usually something milder (chilblains), not frostbite. Frostbite is the serious one.
