2 months agoI’ve met a few people that believed this as a kid. My daughter actually just asked me about it a few months ago too! So we’re not alone!
This is not true. While a 104 fever likely indicates a severe illness or infection the body can safely have a fever in the 104 to 106 range. It’s around 108 that brain damage becomes a concern and that is usually also due to environmental factors like a kid being left in a hot car.
