Why do we get fever?Written by Granny's Mettle
God provided us with an ingenious body that knows what to do when something unwelcome invades it. As an animal must defend itself against enemies, so does our body fight bacteria or viruses when they try to occupy our system.The normal body temperature of a healthy man is 98.4 degrees Fahrenheit. When bacteria, viruses, or even fungi, invade our body it usually results to an infection. When our body gets infected, its natural response is to activate cells in immune system. These cells are called white blood cells. When they are activated, they fight these bacteria in many ways, one of which is to raise body temperature. That's when you have a fever. When virus or bacteria enters body system, they produce toxins that can directly set body's temperature up. Meanwhile, these toxins also trigger white blood cells to emit substances that can also increase body temperature. Fever then, fights off toxins when we are sick. Toxins are usually weaker than normal cells and have low tolerance to heat. When we start to sweat because of fever, our body starts to detoxify from viruses, tumors and other toxic cells that caused infection. Moreover, blood circulation and respiration increases during fever. Both these processes help body fight off poisonous germs present in our body when we have infection.
