If the body raises its temperature to kill bacteria, why is it bad to take a hot shower when you have a fever?
In: 91
ever have a 101 degree fever?
feels like total shit right? thats only < 4 degrees above normal.
raising temp to kill bacteria also affects cells and stuff you DON’t want to kill.
like how chemo therapy is really bad for you.. but hopefully its worse for the cancer first before it kills you too.
so if you have a fever and take a hot shower, you are already near redline… dont push it
