Both are equally dangerous.

homeostasis
Bacteria can respond to extreme heat by forming heat-resistant endospores, and to extreme cold by adjusting their membrane and metabolic activity. These mechanisms help protect the bacteria and allow them to survive in harsh environmental conditions.
More people tend to die from extreme heat than from extreme cold. Heat-related illnesses, such as heat stroke, are more common and can be more deadly than cold-related illnesses. Additionally, heat waves can affect larger populations compared to cold spells.
harsh cold-extreme heat
I would rather suffer extreme cold, as it is generally easier to layer clothing and find ways to warm up. Extreme heat can be more challenging to find relief from and can have more severe health risks.
Both will kill you and both are dangerous. If you were to try and quantify it however. If you were to start with body temperature which is approximately 37 degrees Celcius, and compare one degree either side of that and continue onwards from that, heat would kill you before cold would.
Humans can die from extreme heat at temperatures above 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) and from extreme cold at temperatures below -40 degrees Fahrenheit (-40 degrees Celsius).
The process that allows us to adjust to extreme heat or cold is thermoregulation. In response to extreme temperatures, our body regulates its internal temperature through mechanisms like sweating to cool down in heat or shivering to generate heat in cold conditions. This helps maintain a stable core body temperature within a narrow range for optimal functioning.
