ELi5 Why are fevers so dangerous? If they’re an immune system mechanism, shouldn’t there also be a biological “emergency stop/ brain overheating” button?
In: Biology
You know how you get viruses and bacteria all the time but fungal illnesses aren’t really a thing ever? Beyond annnoying external itchy stuff? fever basically wiped out internal fungal infections in mammals. It’s near nonexistent.
so you get the “why do I need all this stupid fever, I never get diseases that it helps on” but you never get the diseases it helps on because you are so good at fevers the diseases never happen. But give up fevers and mold is still everywhere and would love to grow mushrooms in every cut and infected wound
