How come just a 2 degrees increase of body temperature can make you feel so fatigue and like you’re dying?

Question

It doesn’t seem like a huge difference to me but even a 1 degree increase of body temp can make you so tired and have fever. Why is that?

Answer 1

Because your body is set to maintain a temperature so that it functions properly. If your body does not maintain said temperature the enzymes in your body denature and then the cells die and subsequently, you die.
