- bamboozled 5y agoNot to mention just general comfort, if it's 38c and you have a high fever, it's pretty hard to deal with as apposed to sitting in and air conditioned building in a nice bed.
- nicoburns 5y agoI imagine high air temperature would be beneficial for these with fever. You get hot for a reason. Artificially cooling yourself will not help.

- pbak 5y agoYou are not a freezer. Your basal metabolism doesn't switch off as if it had a thermostat. So no, it's not a beneficial, it compounds, and you die faster.
- nicoburns 5y agoI guess it depends how hot. But you're probably right that India goes above the point that it helpful.
- Aboh33 5y agoIn the past, when I had certain fevers I would go into a dry sauna or steam and it helped but I think it depends on the type of fever though.
- pbak 5y agoVery true, me too, to "burn" a flu out. However, you can get out of the sauna whenever you want ;-)
- srean 5y agoI nearly died when thalis were beaten so there is that too. I wonder why they did not put that in the title as a potential cause.
