When one does a strenuous activity, the body heats up and to cool off one sweats. When one is running a fever, one’s body does not cool off on it’s own in a similar manner. Why is that?
In: Biology
Our bodies create warmth with our muscles. Using your muscles strenuously creates more heat and you get hotter than if you’re not doing much.
A fever is an immune response you can’t control. Your immune system causes your muscles to twitch (shivering), creating heat. You can sweat during a fever.
