One of us will die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

40+ is where it gets really interesting, introducing the possibility of getting delirious with weirdly unsettling hallucinations.
Don’t fuel them by watching TV is all I’m gonna say.
I had 40-41 as a kid and it was so surreal. Especially because it was mod summer
Once had the flu with a fever of 106-107(almost 42c)…I was taken to the hospital and the doctor literally threw me into an ice bath… I was crying and he said “I’m sorry but you will be dead soon unless we drop that fever”
I had to continue taking ice baths at home because the fever kept creeping back up to that range. They’re not fun…
While 104 is contact an MD range.
Fevers have to get to 108F to cause brain damage. 106F is definitely in the seek treatment range!
But normal fevers between 100° and 104° F (37.8° - 40° C) are good for sick children.

Last time I had intense fever dream was when I was a child. For some reason I never had another. As an adult, I would get sick with occasional high temperature but I would wake up immediately as soon as I sweat heavily.
so chemo is just fevers revenge
That’s actually exactly how chemo works. It microwaves your cells on a molecular level!
Edit: turns out I confused it with radiation therapy!
Absolutely not
I think they may have been thinking of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_therapy?
Seeing the edit, yes, but that is also wrong. As the first line of the link says, radiation therapy uses ionizing radiation and not microwaves
It is possible to use microwaves for treating cancer (see https://www.bmc.org/content/microwave-ablation), but the two aforementioned methods do not use them (with the caveat that both “chemotherapy” and “radiation therapy” are very broad categories)
I used microwaving as a verb, as in cooking. English can be weird like that but I didn’t mean the literal frequency range. My bad

When you get a infection in your eye (inide the actual eyeball) your immune system will kill both eyes and its irreversible…
Only if it’s in both eyes, right?
Only if it’s in both eyes, right?
Nope, one eye results in both eyes being attacked…
I was quoting the Anakin Padme meme format
Oh…
Why doesn’t this happen anywhere else? Cut your finger? Both hands get infected. Ingrown toe tail? Both feet hurt.
Apparently because the eyes themselves have the most extreme immune response, i don’t know the exact reason.
They have greatly restricted blood flow due to their structure, and very close proximity to the most important organ in the human body. And I wanna take a minute to appreciate how much of an evolutionary novelty sight must have been. Producing photo transferring chemicals and seeing your mate for the first time.
While sight is great, if you think of it as a electromagnetic wave sensors, natured has evolved that feature in several ways.
For example, you skin can feel infra red radiation in the form of heat. Our ancestors evolved specialised cells that detected visible-light radiation and those cells became increasingly sophisticated organs. But the ability to detect light intensity has existed for a lonnnng time. Even in the primordial puddle, it was useful to know where the sun was shining.
Another comparison I saw was that eyes are electromagnetic sensors and touch is a nuclear force sensor. Smell is just a special kind of sense of touch that only reacts to certain molecules.
there are actually a few other cases of this in the body and it’s because your eyes aren’t actually a part of your bloodstream so the eyes are treated as foreign objects along withthe others I mentioned being thyroid follicles ovarian follicles and sperm inside testicular ducts the last 2 being they only have one set of chromosomes so are biologically different to you
“I can’t survive above 38.0 C for very long as well.”
OP must be weak. I had a fever above 38.0 °C for over a week once. Finally went to the hospital and my fever was gone by the time I arrived. Our bodies do some weird sh*t sometimes.
Immune system to the infection: “If I die, I’m taking you with me!”
