  “Raising your temperature? That’s gonna kill you!”

  “Only if I die.”

  There was a video by a medical channel(actual doctor) I follow on Youtube that explained why the body temp increase happens during an infection in one of his recent videos covering the Hantavirus situation.

  TD;LR: Its that parts of the immune system get sigificantly more effective with a slightly increased temperature.

    Any idea of the mechanism why they get more effective? Doesn’t seems like it would be required to havw an effective immune system. Maybe body temp is the trigger for them to activate? (I have no background knowledge of this)

      Its like in chemistry every 10 degree increase in heat doubles reaction speed
