    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.

        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…

      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.
