So if you go back through records they found that old recordings had a higher body temp. The old explanation was the instruments were off calibration. But a new idea is that body temperatures used to be higher, with the idea that with better hygiene and better food supply our gut microbiome is not as active. I wonder how that all squares with this. Anyway, I hope this current finding is not focused on treating what's likely a symptom and not the cause.
