Fevers are your friends
People don’t like the feeling they get while having a fever. But did
you know that fevers are you friends? Many people assume that the fever
is directly caused by the virus and thus must be a bad thing. In fact
it is not. I believe the most surprising fact is that you don’t want to
eliminate fever. It appears that the right thing to do is to control
it, so that it doesn’t rise above 42 degrees Celsius, and to keep it
there until one feels better. Read more about it here.Why am I suddenly telling you this? The simple answer: I got a nasty
cold/flu (I still need to figure out this one it is). Thanks to Jawaad
for inviting me to spicy BBQ on a cold day (messing my throat up while
my immune system is down).
