As far as the highest fever a human has survived, according to NPR, a man named Willie Jones survived a temperature of 115 degrees Fahrenheit. He holds the record for the highest recorded body temperature from the Guinness Book of World Records.

On the other end of the spectrum, the same NPR article tells us that a woman named Anna Bagenholm survived a body temperature of 56.7 degrees after being under the ice for 80 minutes and then being resuscitated.

Note: These are not normal body tolerances. Willie had to spend almost a month in the hospital, and Anna was clinically dead. Any fever over about 106 can cause brain damage, as can severely low temperatures. If your temperature hits 102, you should see a doctor, because something is wrong. Also, don't jump into ice water on purpose. It is super dangerous. These are not records you want to try for.
