It can cause brain damage if it is not controlled soon enough, and if it is high enough, it can make a person delirious. Best way to treat a high fever is ice pack on the head, or ice bath. Something really cold to bring the fever down.
^^ This is not true. taking a ice bath is not a good option. this will make it harder for heat to escape from your body
After a typical range of usually 106-107ºF, the nervous system starts shutting down to prevent damage therefore, brain damage is highly unlikely unless it is left untreated for a prolonged time. Death can be observed if the body temperature is continuously rising past approximately 107ºF because after that threshold, the enzymes and proteins that control the body starts to denature and are unable to function properly.
A high fever is very dangerous because you could get such a high body temperature that your body goes into shock. It's kind of like when you are so cold, your body goes into shock, and starts to shake.
To prevent very high fevers, to can take Advil every 4 hours. If your fever gets way too out of control, you need to get to the hospital. I, myself, have had many accounts of high fevers. Once, I had to go to the hospital and they gvae me special medicine to calm my fever down.
Enzymes work to catalyze metabolic processes in the human body, and since there are a lot of processes, enzymes are essential to the basic survival of any organism.
Enzymes are also proteins, and as you probably know, proteins tend to function within a certain temperature range that is considered to be optimal. If the temperature is too high, then proteins will be denatured, thus being unable to function properly. During an illness, you body increases its temperature so that it may kill the microbial invaders, which having proteins of their own, would less likely to survive in this hostile environment. However, if the high temperature is prolonged, you run the risk of denaturing your own proteins because heat is a non-specific form of defence and targets just about anything.
When the enzymes and other proteins start denaturing, you affect the metabolic processes, the structural proteins that constitute your organs, and many other things. If the damage is serious enough, then you die.
A sustained hyperpyrexic (high fever) condition is deadly to most cells of the body, especially neuronal cells in the brain, brainstem and spinal cord.

Sacajawea died from a high fever when she was 24 or 25
Take a cold shower. If you have a high fever I would contact a doctor before you do anything, even before you take a shower.
Children. A fever is basically your body trying to kill the invaders with a kamikaze aproach; hopefully they'll die out before you. Because a child is still developing when hit by a bad fever on rare occasions it can cause lasting damage to the child.
Yes! If someone has a temperature of 130 then their brain would die, then the body would die (seriously). Possibly you meant a fever of 103.0 - which is a high fever.
Every persons different but you can die from it.
From typhoid fever a few days before her sister
A very high fever can cause brain cells to begin to die off.
No. Anemia does not causes high fever. High fever may cause anemia like in malaria.
i don't know get dinky fever and if you die then i guess you can die of dinky fever.
yes, it is a fever
