Perhaps the temperature of the perfectly healthy state can vary between people as can their sensitivity to deviations. As for me, though, it has always been exactly 36.6°C. The idea of somebody telling me 37°C is healthy drives me mad because I feel terrible at 37°C, such temperature indicates I am surely sick and will probably infect others. As soon as my temperature deviates from 36.6°C (36.65°C is Ok, 36.7°C is not) I immediately feel physical discomfort in my whole body and that is not a placebo effect - I feel it first and confirm it with a measurement after.
I measure my temperature in my armpit using a classic mercury thermometer. I tried an electronic thermometer but found it imprecise.
This way I want to defend 36.6°C as the normal temperature and to abolish 37°C being considered normal as well. Perhaps it can be normal but that would be an individual trait of a specific person. Unless such a temperature is proven normal for this specific person, a person with 37°C armpit temperature should not be allowed to visit the office, attend flights etc.
