Why is our body temp. 98.6 or why do we get fevers? 98.6 is because that's the way we have evolved. Birds are 102. That works for them. If we didn't have a steady temperature, we would be cold blooded like snakes and lizards.
Fevers? A fever is usually a response to an infection. The body working to get rid of the infection and the poisons from the infection can mess with the body ability to regulate the temperature.
