Previous answer: I think it's about 42 degrees, although 3 years ago, I contracted blood poisoning and my temp went up to 42.3, the doctors were amazed i was still alive.
Temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius or 104 degrees Fahrenheit are life-threatening. Brain damage or brain death often occur at temperatures of 41 degrees Celsius or 106 degrees Fahrenheit as this is when the brain begins to be damaged by the high temperature.

∙ 13y agoWell I don't know if there is an exact answer, especially considering that not everyone normally runs at exactly 98.6F -- that is an average. But generally, 107F is considered fatal. That's not to say you can't be over 107F and still be alive.

∙ 12y agoHyperpyrexia is an excessive and unusual elevation of set body temperature greater than or equal to 41.1 °C (106 °F), or extremely high fever. Such a high temperature is considered a medical emergency. It differs from hyperthermia in that in hyperthermia the body temperature is too high above the set point, whereas in hyperpyrexia the body's temperature regulation mechanism sets the normal body temperature too high. It is very often fatal.
A person is in danger of dying if he or she has a body temperature of 106 degrees Fahrenheit or greater.

∙ 16y agoDepends which doctor or textbook you consult, there doesn't seem to be one solid answer, but if the fever stays at 45 degrees for some time the person will become unconscious with fixed and unreactive pupils and permanent brain damage will occur unless the fever drops soon.

How would a high body temperature be fatal to humans?
If your brain overheats, you instantly die.
Why is it important to maintain body temperature?
Body temperature is key. If your temperature is too high, your organs can be cooked into dysfunction. If it is too low, the chemical processes that we rely on to live can be interfered with. Humans are fragile.
Why humans have a defined body temperature?
So the enzymes function properly, temperature too low = inefficient working due to not enough kinetic energy, temperature too high means the enzymes will denature (die!)
How cold can a person get before dying?
Hypothermia can begin to set in when a person's body temperature falls below 95°F (35°C). As body temperature continues to drop, it can lead to unconsciousness and eventually death. However, the exact temperature at which a person will die from cold exposure can vary depending on factors such as individual health, clothing, and environmental conditions.
What will be your body temperature in 75 degree water?
Your body temperature will be about 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit all the time. If your temperature falls much below that, you will die of hypothermia.
Hottest temperature the human body can handle?
The hottest BODY temperature our bodies can handle is 107. Any higher and you will die, if not sooner.
Do you die if you get hypothermia?
Yes you could die if you get Hypothermia it all depends on how cold you are and what is your body temperature
What body temperature do you die in degrees Celsius?
they die at the certain temperature their climate is or by their weather patterns they have in their area as if i die in a veryy hot place like the dessert then i die with the body temperature of heat and i may have died from the heat that they have
What happens if body temperature drops below 95 degrees?
you die
What happens when you have a 180 f temperature?
The normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees. If your body heat exceeds 105 degrees, you are most likely going to die.
What will happen if the body temperature of a human reach 45degrees?
Surrounding temperature, or body temperature? The latter is not compatible with life. The former only if enough cooling by evaporation of sweat is possible.
What are the risks of nitrogen to the human body?
It is possible for humans to suffocate and die in pure nitrogen.
