fever
……. asked:


Ok, to start out with, please please please please please don’t think I’m doing this to get out of school, because I’m not. My friend is doing a science project on fevers, and when I told him about this website, he asked me if I’d ask around for him. He read by someone on the internet where you can get a fever by wearing wet socks to bed, and wanted me to confirm this for a report he’s doing.

I don’t think so. A fever is the body’s response to a virus. Wet socks are just going to get your feet and sheets wet and feel pretty icky….

Tell your friend that truancy is bad.

That will not cause a fever or any other illness. However, it can cause athlete’s foot or other skin problems, and it just feels gross to most people anyway.

Fevers (and colds, for that matter), are not caused by sleeping in wet socks, going out in the cold with wet hair, or any of the other silly stories you’ve been told. That might lower your resistance to bugs, but it will not make you ill by itself. Fever is just your body’s response to bacteria or a virus, and an elevated body temperature is indicative of yoru immune system’s attempt to “kill” the infectious agent.
