to tell you your sick……….
Not sure but I think it’s your body trying to denature the proteins in the virus that are making you sick.
To put simply…to make conditions bad enough for the germs that they will be killed off. Someone will give you more info but mine was concise
Most bacterias can not live in an environment that is above 98 degrees, the body increases the temperature in order to help kill the invader. This is how it was explained to me.
It is a reaction of the hypothalamus to the pathogen.
Bacteria thrive in temperatures between 40 – 140. You would be dead before the fever got hot enough to actually kill the germ.
Although a fever isn’t an illness itself, it’s usually a sign that something’s going on in your body. Yet fevers aren’t necessarily bad. In fact, they seem to play a key role in helping your body fight off a number of bacterial and viral infections.
At the distant side of this clinical continuum are patients who develop gangrene requiring amputation. Treatment : Tetracycline ( Achromycin ) antibiotic, sometimes Doxycycline ( Vibramycin ), is the finest treatment for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. So if you think or think you know someone that has Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, you might literally save their life by being acquainted with the symptoms and stipulating that they see their surgeon.
