Probably, although I don't understand why 37.
In Europe (at least in post-soviet countries I can speak of), _everyone knows_ (c) that the body temperature should be 36.6, which is 97.9 F. 37-to-37.5 is kinda beginning of a fever already.
- lucb1e 8y agoI remember it as 36.4 but .6 could also be. Indeed, my mom at least always considered 37-38 elevated and 38.0 and above is a fever.
- sandworm101 8y agoI read something about how the european temp is based on different testing, under the arm rather than under the tounge. My dog's vet has a very cool toy. IR temp through the eye. Temp of the optic nerves, close to the brain.
- duchenne 8y agoThe wikiepdia article on body temperature is interesting. You can get different numbers depending on the language: - Arabic/French/Polish/Turkish: 37 °C - Chinese: 36.8±0.4℃ - English: 36.5–37.5 °C - Italian: 36.5 °C From my own experience, people say: - France: 37 °C - Korea: 36.5 °C source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_temperature https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_temperature
- jgtrosh 8y agoIn my experience in France everyone © says 37,5°
- harperlee 8y agoSpain: 37°C
- kruczek 8y agoPolish version doesn't say 37°C is normal. It says that "latest research shows that average temperature of a healthy adult is 36.8°C". However it also notes that in Poland and Russia the ideal temperature was considered to be 36.6°C, which is what I remember too.
