the goal is to reach I believe the temperature is about 43 degrees Celsius I forget what that translates to in Fahrenheit but at the time they inserted the probe just from a walk in the bike ride I was already at 39 degrees and I was very uncomfortable mildly claustrophobic your entire body is in there just your head is sticking out there's a nurse attending you the whole time she began to give me water that I would turn my head sideways and suck through a straw from a glass and as my temperature approached 40 degrees she began to wipe down my face with a nice towel repeatedly and from what I understand this that the brain doesn't undergo damage from the hyperthermia and I laid in there for about two hours I got up to 41 and a half degrees
