Better take an advil

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/
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.
I thought danger was at 104F??
Apparently, ~108F, but generally, the body needs help to get there.
To me Macrophages are the single most interesting creatures(symbiotes?) in the human body. I've read so much about them yet know so little.
Its their body, we are just the pilot.
Haha, yeah, sounds about right! No neurons, yet so determined.
Watch cells at work, you will thank me later
I've had this Excel workbook open for an hour now and my boss is asking why I'm just staring at it. But thank you?
It was an Excel joke.
you could say... it was a very good joke
You could say that he excelled at making jokes!

I only know ibuprofen as a pain killer, but good to know it can also reduce fever!
It blocks inflammation of all sorts
It was the key drug being deployed during the covid war. I survived tks to it. Saw god a few times.
Reading this makes me think it was thorazine instead of ibuprofen.
DMT is more likely.
Interesting, as someone who takes Suboxone, I avoid Tylenol because of potential liver issues. I was told during the pandemic that ibuprofen caused things to be worse. It was a confusing time and a very scary time.
It’s hard to know what info to trust these days.
Having a fever I can deal with, but I will immediately take some meds to not have a headache. Unfortunately, usually a fever comes with a headache.:(
