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
Your immune system works better at higher temperatures, but nothing else in your body does. It’s why when you overheat you feel terrible.
I don’t know how much showers effect your body temp, I just feel like my skin is extra sensitive during a fever so I don’t like to be in showers for long.
