Probably would work but would take a very long time because the difference between a meat thermometer and a normal thermometer is that the meat one is all metal versus the human variations that have Mercury or some other type of liquid that is not harmful to the human body. But they are definitely not all metal like the meat thermometers. Dont see why it wouldn't work in the rectum as long as you've got alot of patience :) Good luck with that!
