Question

Would having a high temperature (let's say above 105 degrees Fahrenheit for an extended period of time) have a negative effect on the human body? Why?

Answer 1

While high fevers, especially those that last a long time, can lead to brain damage and death, this is extremely rare. Brain damage can occur if a fever goes above 107.6. According to a 2016 study, heatstroke is the most deadly heat-related illness. It kills 58% or more of the people it affects.
