Why does fever feel so much hotter despite it being only a few degrees of difference?

Like, 37 to 38 feels like you are really hot, even touching a person, they can feel hot. Shouldn’t you be unable to tell the difference or be barely able to do so (especially if you touch a person)?

Because few degree is a lot. Normal human termerature is 36.3 nowadays (was 36.6 century ago). Majority of fibers in human body breaks at 41. Just 5 more degree over your normal temperature and you would drop dead. 2 degree below your normal temperature and you suddenly enjoy hypothermia.
