Normal body temperature is 98.6F or 37C, so 40C would equal 104F. Any body temperature over 40C/104F requires immediate medical attention. Body temperature raises to try to kill off the infection/virus, but can "cook" your organs in the meantime.

At what temperature do human enzymes work best at?

Enzymes in the human body work best at human body temperature, so about 35-40 degrees (Celsius). A lower temperature would have too low of an effect to be able to sustain life, and a higher temperature causes the enzyme to denature (unravel) and be rendered ineffective.
