Hyperthermia is an abnormal increase in the core body temperature. Extreme hyperthermia (usually defined as greater than 106 degrees F in humans) caused the enzymes within the body's cells to degrade and inactivate. If enough enzymes are deactivated, the cell dies. If enough cells die, or enough of a particular cell such as a cranial neuron die, the organism will also die.
