If feel feverish why can't you take your own temperature with your hand?

no, you cannot detect your own fever with your hand because your hand is the same body temperature as your forehead. Therefore, you can't feel if your forehead is hot or cold both are either hot at the same time or cold.

Can you feel your own temperature with your hand?
Yes it is very possible to feel the temperature if you slightly place the backside of your hand to the center of the forehead you can then feel if it is a higher temperature than normal.
What is on your hand though you cant feel it only you and time can reveal it?
Fate ;)
Why does your hand feel cool if you wash it with water?
The temperature differences - if the water temperature is cooler than the temperature of your hand, your hand will lose heat to the water. Furthermore, when the remaining droplets of water on your hand evaporate, it will also take some of the heat it absorbed from your hand.

Why would your hand feel cold if you wet the back of your hand and blow on it?
Your breath evaporates the moisture which cools the surface temperature of the skin.
Why does your hand feel cold when a piece of ice is placed in your hand?
When you touch ice, it conducts heat away from your hand. This causes the temperature of your hand to drop, resulting in the sensation of coldness. Ice has a lower temperature than your body, so heat is transferred from your hand to the ice, making your hand feel cold.
How your hands will feel when you place them in the container of room temperature water?
Body temperature is regulated by an intricate system called homeostasis. If the external (outside) temperature is hotter or colder than our body then various things come into play to maintain our body heat. If you put your hand into room temperature water (room temperature is generally accepted to be 20 degrees C) then it will feel cold, because body temp is about 37 degrees C. The water will absorb heat energy from your hand, making it feel cold, until the temperature of the water and the temperature of your hand are the same. Or until you decide that shoving your hand in cool water is pointless...If you put your hand into water that is at 37 degrees C then you won't notice any temperature difference. It just feels wet. It's really weird, try it!
When you put your hands in the water at he room temperature why do you not feel cold?
If the water is room temperature, meaning the same temperature as the air, then you wouldn't feel a change in temperature. On the other hand, If there was a breeze or the air was otherwise in motion, it might increase evaporation of skin moisture and have a cooling effect. In that situation, putting your hands into the water might make them feel warmer.
What factor determines how hot or cold something feels when you touch it?
The temperature. Also, thermal conductivity.
Why does your hand feel cold when you you wash it with water?
The temperature of the water is lower than the air temperature. [Try running the hot water a little before you wash your hands.]
Do acids feel slippery and soapy?
no, actually I think it might be like water.......Except for the fact that WATER CANT BURN YOUR HAND OFF!!...
