How do your enzymes not denature when you go into a hot bath that raises your body temp above 38 degrees?

Question

Like is it just a temperature regulation thing in the body, do you still not go over 38c whilst in a steaming hot bath? It’s always seemed so bizarre to me.

I feel like I’m overthinking this a lot I just need someone to explain it properly

Enzymes denature at higher temperatures than 38°C. If you get hot enough, you’ll not only die but enzymes will denature!
