Why does a small increase in body temperature of 1degree put us into a fever state while we can adapt to higher temperatures on hotter days?
In: Biology
This simplest explanation of explicitly what you asked is actually philosophical, not scientific (in that, you really answered your own question):
We adapt to higher external temperatures through various means, like evaporative cooling from sweat.
If we have an increased internal temperature, it means we haven’t adapted in a manner to cool ourselves.
This has been brought to you by interpreting the semantics and ignoring the pragmatics.
