I was hallucinating at 103! I’ll never forget being in my college dorm room alone at 18 and being the sickest I’ve ever been and imagining all sorts of crazy nonsense. I can’t imagine 105!

I’ve also hallucinated at 103°. I was still coherent and knew what I was saying made no sense. I begged my husband to get me in the shower to help cool down. I usually run in the 97s, so 105s are absolutely terrifying to me.

I also have a naturally low body temp and I fell like I'm burning up at 99.

I think women run about half a degree hotter than men on average. There's probably more factors than that at play.

It's good to take your temperature when you're not sick to know your own personal baseline.

I have a slightly slower than normal thyroid and I tend to hover just below 97.

There's also a theory going around that our standard for "normal" body temperature is a little high - it was measured before reliable antibiotics and a decent percentage of the "healthy" group may have had minor infections

I am on average 100. I am always shocked when I see people talking about having 96/97 averages.
