biggaybunny: Fever is a hilarious immune response. Our bodies tell the disease “hey, wanna see which one of us dies of overheating first? No? Too bad.” and honestly they’re not even the winners a decent chunk of the time but it works often enough that we never evolved it away or anything. Fantastic work. oliviawebsite: this reply is killing me chaotic-hypnotic-erotic: There was one time when I was in the throes of a really bad cold, whenI dreamed that each of the individual states within the nation of Germany were having a vote to raise my body temp by 1.5 degrees. The vote passed, I awoke in a fever, and my cold just broke at the wheel. Vielen dank, Bavaria und Baden-Wirttemberg.
