How high can your body temperature be before it becomes life threatening?

Generally anything under 95 F is considered life-threatening and rewarming should be by medical supervision. A healthy adult can withstand temperature drop much more than can the elderly or children. Infants and neonates are notorious for hypothermia, especially in the case of childbirth outside the hospital. Heart dysrhythmias are common as the core body temperature drops, and medical intervention (Paramedics/Emergency Room) can mean the difference between life and death. Please don't take risks with your length of exposure to cold. One of the first signs of hypothermia is an altered level of consciousness, occasionally manifesting as an unwillingness to move from the cold environment.

Is a life-threatening condition in which body temperature becomes dangerously low anywhere below 95 and degF.?
Hypothermia-apex:))
What is a life threatening condition in which the body temperature becomes dangerously low anywhere below 95 degrees?
Hypothermia is a threatening condition, that can lead to death.
When body temperature rises what becomes active?
The sweat glands become active when the body temperature rises.
How low can your body temperature be before you die?
Anything below the normal body temperature of 98.6 Fahrenheit Some people have a lower body temperature than average though. It only becomes life threatening if it is 95 degrees Fahrenheit or below. Then you must seek immediate medical help. But if you have an average low temp of like 97 Fahrenheit or something of the likes there's no need to worry about it.
What degree of coldness is life-threatening?
Hypothermia can occur in temperatures as high as 65 degrees Fahrenheit (18°C). If the body core temperature drops below 95° F (35° C), the body's metabolism becomes unstable. The lowest known body temperature from which survival was possible was 55.4°F (13° C), but only for a few hours at most.
Is a 102.7 body temperature in a 12 year old child dangerous?
Not life threatening, but very sick.
What would happen if the temperature controls failed and body temperature became abnormally high?
when body temperature becomes too high the proteins in the body can ''denature'' or lose their shape, becoming functionless
Immediate life threatening emergency caused by extremely high body temperature and the inability to sweat?
heat stroke
What is the life threatening temperature?
Hyperpyrexia (above 41°C/106°F) and hypothermia (below 35°C/95°F) are considered life-threatening temperatures for the human body.
What is the body temperature of a cattle before milking it?
The internal body temperature for cattle runs between 100.5 and 102 degrees F; this should be the cow's body temperature at all times, including just before milking.
Where can you find some examples of equilibrium?
in case of transfer of heat. the heat is transferred from a body at higher temperature to the body at lower temperature. the heat is transferred till the time the temperature of both the bodies becomes same.
What do you call a body temperature below 97.5 degree Fahrenheit?
Hypothermia occurs when the body's temperature falls below the normal range. Some fluctuation in body temperature is normal; however hypothermia is dangerous, because the body temperature becomes too low for normal bodily functions to occur properly.
