Children. A fever is basically your body trying to kill the invaders with a kamikaze aproach; hopefully they'll die out before you. Because a child is still developing when hit by a bad fever on rare occasions it can cause lasting damage to the child.

How high is the fever with a common cold?

Adults usually do not get a fever with a cold, it is more likely to be the flu, sinus infection, or another infection when there is a high fever and cold symptoms. There may be a low grade fever of 99-100F in adults with a cold. Higher fevers usually indicate a more serious infection, unless in children, who can have higher fevers than adults with the common cold and require examination by a health care professional to evaluate the fever and symptoms.

Why are children more likely to hear bats than adults?

Because children can hear higher frequencies, and a bat sound is usually very high pitched. A child may also not be able to hear it, if the bat has a particularly high voice. In theory, children can hear a maximum high pitch of 20,000Hz. This is only if the child's hearing is perfect, which, in most cases, it isn't. Basically, what I'm trying to say, is that as you get older, your ability to hear high pitched sound gets worse.
