what happens when a fever ‘breaks’? What’s with the grand finale of sweat
In: Biology
When your body is sick, one if it’s defense mechanisms is to heat itself up, which can help make it harder for bacteria and viruses to reproduce. However, this same heating is not good for the body under normal function, so if/when the body senses that the infection has been defeated, it switches over to maximum heat rejection, hence why you sweat.
