it takes more energy to have the body up in the high temperature its dangrous
-the above answer is complete crap and so are any claims of brains "frying", these are nothing more than childish guesses which were probably made up by some 9 year old, the truth is that as your body temperature rises more than a few degrees above the norm enzymes begin to deform and the chemical processes in your cells all but grind to a halt. With no working enzymes to facilitate your bodily processes your muscles are one of the first things to fail from lack of energy (this includes the heart and diaphragm which for those of you who don't know pumps air in and out of your lungs).
*for those of you who will inevitably say that's wrong i heard..., go read a high school Biology text book (knowledge is power).

∙ 11y agoFever is not dangerous; rather it is one of the protective mechanism of your body against any infection or inflammation. Yes, high rise of body temperature more than 105 degree F can result febrile convulsion, muscles rigidity or more heart beat, and still more high temperature may cause brain hemorrhage or organ failure, but in practically temperature from 100 F to 103 F will not result any problem (except in the case of a child who has a P/H of febrile convulsion record).
