This is a misnomer though. Your body will not make the fever too high in the case of fighting a virus, so danger is low. From an evolutionary standpoint this would make no sense. For a bacterial infection I think the chance of going to the danger zone is higher though. Typically it's better to just let the fever ride when you have a virus, unless it's making you you so uncomfortable you can't rest/sleep.
