I’m curious why a child can have a fever of 104º F and not need to worry, but an adult with that temperature would need to head to the ER immediately.
In: Biology
Can they withstand higher temperatures or are they just unaware of how dangerous a high temp can be?
OP I reject your premise based on the [world hot sauna championships](https://i.imgur.com/kjekvyZ.jpg).
As for fever, I can imagine adult physiology (thicker skin, hairs on skin, fat) producing lower external temperature than a child would.
