Is there a reason your body gives you a fever with infectious diseases?
D4est
Yes, microbes ("germs") that give us infections, cause a reaction by our immune system when we are infected, that sets several different "pest elimination" processes of our bodies in action. Because microbes can be damaged by heat of differing levels, our immune reactions include fevers that are intended to raise our core body temperature to a temperature that damages the microbes, so that they can not reproduce or create toxins that keep us sick.
