“I can’t survive above 38.0 C for very long as well.”
OP must be weak. I had a fever above 38.0 °C for over a week once. Finally went to the hospital and my fever was gone by the time I arrived. Our bodies do some weird sh*t sometimes.
so chemo is just fevers revenge
That’s actually exactly how chemo works. It microwaves your cells on a molecular level!
Edit: turns out I confused it with radiation therapy!
Absolutely not

One of us will die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.
40+ is where it gets really interesting, introducing the possibility of getting delirious with weirdly unsettling hallucinations.
Don’t fuel them by watching TV is all I’m gonna say.
I had 40-41 as a kid and it was so surreal. Especially because it was mod summer
Once had the flu with a fever of 106-107(almost 42c)…I was taken to the hospital and the doctor literally threw me into an ice bath… I was crying and he said “I’m sorry but you will be dead soon unless we drop that fever”
I had to continue taking ice baths at home because the fever kept creeping back up to that range. They’re not fun…
While 104 is contact an MD range.
Fevers have to get to 108F to cause brain damage. 106F is definitely in the seek treatment range!
But normal fevers between 100° and 104° F (37.8° - 40° C) are good for sick children.
