Hello everyone!
So as I understand it, your body starts to heat up to slow down the reproduction of bacteria in your body, thus resulting in a fever.
But how come that you can die of a fever? Does the body not know when to stop heating up?

The body is not designed very cleverly at all. It may look like everything was planned there from the start but in reality it is all held together with ducktape and hope. Some sort of safety stop for your fever for example is not something which have been developed. There may have been some simple mechanisms in place which could have been developed into a working system but more then likely these ended up not letting the body get high enough of a temperature or let the fever get too high anyway and therefore people with those genes died out faster.
