Comment on If the body's natural temperature is about 98 degrees (F), why does it still feel really hot when the ambient temperature is 98F?

Your body is constantly generating heat. If that heat has nowhere to go, your temperature goes up and up.

You need to be in an environment that sucks heat away as fast as you create it - and if the external air temp isn’t cold enough to do that on its own, then you have to rely on evaporation of sweat to help shed the heat.

If that doesn’t cut it, you die.
