You cannot use laboratory thermometer to measure human body temp because of its markings. It is designed to measure large scale temperatures and therefore it may be hard to read the exact bocy temperature.

We should not use a labaratory thermometer to measure our body temp• bcuz it doesn't not containa KINK. Clinical thermometers have a kink which stops the Mercury from going back to its normal room temp• ,but as labaratory thermometers do not have one,the mercury immediately goes back to normal position and we cannot read the correct temperature

Its range is tooo big and its accuracy too small.

The other way around is also true: don't use a body thernometer in the laboratory, because it is too shortly ranged: 35oC - 42oC)
