Body Temperature

Generally anything under 95 F is considered life-threatening and rewarming should be by medical supervision. A healthy adult can withstand temperature drop much more than can the elderly or children. Infants and neonates are notorious for hypothermia, especially in the case of childbirth outside the hospital. Heart dysrhythmias are common as the core body temperature drops, and medical intervention (Paramedics/Emergency Room) can mean the difference between life and death. Please don't take risks with your length of exposure to cold. One of the first signs of hypothermia is an altered level of consciousness, occasionally manifesting as an unwillingness to move from the cold environment.

Sticking a sliced onion or sliced garlic under the armpits for at least a few hours is said to raise the temperature of the body a few degrees. A better alternative to this is simply not faking a fever or being honest about your reasons for wanting to avoid whatever the fever would excuse you from.

Normal body temperature varies greatly between animals. Small rodents tend to be about the same as humans at 37.0 C (98.?) Dogs and cats run around 39C (101F). Livestock also tend to run hot, in the 38-39+C range. It all depends on the animal.

fat is stored in your body when you consume more energy than you need.

I don't do much exercise but eat lots of fatty foods so I have fat stored mainly around my belly, hips, thighs and butt. This fat keeps me warm and is a soft padding

it loses energy as heat.

Children are more prone to higher temperatures than adults. However, running a high fever is not safe in children or adults.

When a person has a normal body temperature it is ca

It's important to maintain a stable temperature in our bodies because we want to stay healthy. If our temperature is too high (like higher than a fever temperature), or is too lower than our normal body temperature (about 98 degrees), we could get really sick or possibly die.

As fever increases so does physical discomfort. The person may sweat profusely then stop sweating altogether. There may be abdominal discomfort and general body aches. There could be eye pain and headache. Some people hallucinate with a high fever. Eventually you will become dehydrated (if untreated) and organs will begin to fail. Eventually death will result.

Lots....running, jogging, walking, biking, sit ups, push ups, jump roping, sports like swimming, there are lots! Go on google!

If you are measuring weight change, it is most important that you weigh yourself at a specific time every time. The best time to one yourself is the immediately after getting out of bed.

Your weight is going to naturally fluctuate throughout the day. Whenever you eat, drink, exercise (mostly from loss of water due to sweating) or use the restroom, your weight changes. So then, if you go about weighing yourself on a day just before a meal and then weigh yourself a day later right after a meal, you might have appeared to gain weight, even though your body fat and muscle mass are identical to the first day. Remember that these fluctuations, along with the accuracy of your scale, mean that you shouldn't get concerned with small changes in what the scale says over a short time. It's what happens over the months and years - the big trends- that you should be aware of. Maintain a healthy lifestyle, eat right and exercise most days of the week, and things should be just fine.

There are two types of thermoceptors found in the skin. One for cold and one for heat.

There body temperature comes from the milk they drink. It flows throughout the blood giving it heat. The average temperature is 100 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

110 degrees to be precise. its more like an oven.

hyperthermia is the correct answer and not to be confused with hypothermia which is when the body temp drops

YES! In fact you might be left with some brain damage. A small baby can take a temperature (from fever) better than an adult can but 106.6 is high enough you'd need to go to the hospital. Hopefully you would make it!

Thermoregulation is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries, even when the surrounding temperature is very different. This process is one aspect of homeostasis: a dynamic state of stability between an animal's internal environment and its external environment (the study of such processes in zoology has been called ecophysiology or physiological ecology). If the body is unable to maintain a normal temperature and it increases significantly above normal, a condition known as hyperthermia occurs. For humans, this occurs when the body is exposed to constant temperatures of approximately 55 °C (131 °F), and any prolonged exposure (longer than a few hours) at this temperature and up to around 75 °C (167 °F) death is almost inevitable Humans may also experience lethal hyperthermia when the wet bulb temperature is sustained above 35 °C (95 °F) for six hours. The opposite condition, when body temperature decreases below normal levels, is known as hypothermia.

Yes, a child CAN survive a 106F body temperature -- IF the situation is treated as a medical emergency!! (I'm lucky my mom was an RN.)

I answer this question not as a doctor or medical professional, but as someone who survived 106F temperature (more than once) as a child (18 mos - 36 mos of age).

My parents tell me every time I was taken off tetracycline for a recurrent urinary tract infection, my temp would spike to 106F, I would go into convulsions, and have to be put into an ICE BATH to get my temp lowered.

Doc would put me right back on the tetracycline to keep the infection at bay.

I'm approaching 50 now and have suffered no ill effects from the high fever-- except for deep grooves/ridges in my adult teeth, which my dentist tells me was due to high fever when the teeth were forming. (I could spend the $ to get the ridges filled.)

BTW, parents gave up on the pediatrician, and took me to a urologist, who resolved the underlying problem with surgery.
