What fever temp is deadly?
I was watching a documentary about extreme fevers, and it got me thinking. What fever temperature is actually considered deadly or has the potential to cause severe long-term damage?

Honestly, anything above 104F (40C) for adults is a serious concern and needs immediate medical attention. For kids, even 102F (39C) can be quite risky, so it's always better to consult a doctor right away rather than waiting.

Deadly fever? My brain feels deadly after just one night of no sleep, forget fever! But seriously, if your thermometer is showing anything crazy high, like above 104, just go to the doctor. Don't be a hero like me trying to google symptoms at 3 AM.

Oh god, this question makes me nervous! I once had a fever of 103F and I was so scared. Did anyone else feel like their head was just burning up at that temperature? It feels so high.

It's super important to watch out for high fevers! If it goes really high, like above 103-104°F, it's definitely time to see a doctor ASAP, especially for kids! Stay safe everyone! ✨🩺

While we're talking about fevers, it's really important to keep hydrated and eat light, nutritious food when you have one. But for the temperature itself, anything that feels too high or doesn't come down with basic meds definitely means a doctor's visit. Don't take chances.
