The body is generally unable to raise the core temperature to the point where it can cause permanent damage, unless the ambient temperature is high. That is, unless there is a pre-existing heart or other vital organ condition.
In fact, fevers >=39C (102.2F) showed better outcomes in covid patients.
Macrophages just want to watch the whole body burn.
From what I've read, anything over about 101F is doing more harm than good.
That's 38C for anyone out of the US
311 Kelvin for anyone who is an absolutist
And
560 Rankine for absolutists who wish to stick with Fahrenheit
Pretty sure it's anything at 42°C or above that is a vital emergency, as it starts to destroy neurons
39°C is basically a normal fever
I just converted what they said
Then convert better next time! (/s)
That's not very high
38C is a nice handful, not a temperature.
This does not appear to match the evidence anymore: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7717216/

I thought danger was at 104F??
Apparently, ~108F, but generally, the body needs help to get there.
