    Having a fever I can deal with, but I will immediately take some meds to not have a headache. Unfortunately, usually a fever comes with a headache.:(

    To me Macrophages are the single most interesting creatures(symbiotes?) in the human body. I’ve read so much about them yet know so little.

        I’ve had this Excel workbook open for an hour now and my boss is asking why I’m just staring at it. But thank you?

    Macrophages just want to watch the whole body burn.

      From what I’ve read, anything over about 101F is doing more harm than good.

        This does not appear to match the evidence anymore: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7717216/

        The body is generally unable to raise the core temperature to the point where it can cause permanent damage, unless the ambient temperature is high. That is, unless there is a pre-existing heart or other vital organ condition.

        In fact, fevers >=39C (102.2F) showed better outcomes in covid patients.

            Apparently, ~108F, but generally, the body needs help to get there.
