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
The human body is really good at regulating it’s own temperature. Heart rate, panting, sweating, breathing, and some other mechanism allow the body to coold down if we’re in too hot of an environment, or warm up if we’re in too cold of one (within reason of course).
If your temperature is too hot it means something in your body is working properly to maintain that temperature, regardless of the external climate.
