Once your body temperature starts getting up to 102, 103, certainly 104, you are starting to enter serious danger zone.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
even an increase of three or four degrees in body temperature can start to kill off neurons
neurons are gone, they do not come back. And neurons do not do well in very high temperatures. Once your body temperature starts getting up to 102, 103, certainly 104, you are starting to enter serious danger zone.
You know, kids some people think can tolerate higher levels of fever than adults. But look, you always want to be cautious about heating up the brain too much because once those neurons are gone, they do not come back. And neurons do not do well in very high temperatures. Once your body temperature starts getting up to 102, 103, certainly 104, you are starting to enter serious danger zone.
