there are two body temperatures that can be dangerous. The body's normal temperature should be 37.5c. This is the temperature at which the body can work best at. If the body temperature rises above 37.5c this is a condition called Hyperthermia when the body absorbs more heat than it can dissipate. Temperatures above 40c are life-threatening and needs treating immediately. If the body temperature drops below 37.5c then this condition is called Hypothermia this is usually caused to excessive exposure to cold settings such as cold air and water. It is subdivided into four different degrees, mild 32-35 °C (90-95 °F); moderate, 28-32 °C (82-90 °F); severe, 20-28 °C (68-82 °F); and profound at less than 20 °C. Medical attention is need when the body temperature drops below (32c).
