I had a 107F fever as a kid. I just remember hallucinating and losing consciousness and having weird dreams and then not knowing if I was awake or asleep.
Man, my mom used to talk about how afraid she got when I was a little kid and got sick, because 3 or 4 times I had 41°C fevers and I never really understood what that meant. This puts thing in perpective.
the danger is that as you get hotter, your heat producing chemical reactions get faster. this means that it continuously gets more difficult for your body to cool down on its own. thats where the excessive sweating comes in and why you have to hydrate. if the fever gets out of hand at any point, you have to cool them down or else their body will be unable to do anything and their temperature will continue to rise until irreversible damage occurs and they die.
yea it really really puts why it's so worrying to adults- like I remember my temp being at like 105 a few years back and my mom being like "that's too close, if it doesn't go down we have to take u to the hospital" and I was just thinking "wow that's a stupid reason to have to go there pft 😳" but now I get it, that shit scary
@@EspeonAndMew yeah it’s good to keep all that in mind and pay attention for it but also our bodies do it on purpose.

I thought you were going to do _external_ temperature, which of course is a different story, and relies heavily on temperature differential rather than absolute temperature.
@@tonydai782 Well at a certain point enough heat would vaporize you far before sweat becomes very relevant, while in absolute zero you'd survive at least a few seconds
@@Nosirrbro I'm not sure that's true(yes this is three years late). I'd say that anything past 60 degrees Celcius quickly becomes deadly regardless of how much water you can drink(so about 23 degrees above body temperature). Meanwhile, you can survive for a long time at -40 degrees Celcius if you wear enough clothing, which is 77 degrees under our body temperature.
Recently I caught covid for a _fourth time_ and hit 102.8 before taking some more fever reducers and going to sleep. I had the most bizarre, unsettling, horrific dream of my life. Thousands of years passed, it was excruciating. And then I woke up and just had to _deal_ with being a normal mortal human being who was moderately sick.
My normal body temperature is about 2ºF cooler than the average, so it can be frustrating to explain to people why I feel awful when I'm "only" running a fever of 100-101ºF.
same, my body is normally around 96 or 97, so like 98.6 is already getting into mild fever territory for me, but people tell me i’m fine if I have that temp
Armpit temperature is usually about 0.5°C or about 1°F lower than your core temperature, which you need to take into account. It’s normal, especially for petite people, to have a fever even when their armpit temperature is only 37°C, which is nominally the expected temperature.
Does it not weird anyone else out how happy and cutesy her voice is while describing ways your body shuts down? Feels completely off theme, she sounds like a manic pixie dream girl
I though this would be more of an analysis: at what speed could each temp kill you, and how close is it to your body temp? Like some sort of integral analysis of killing speed vs temperature. Obviously being superheated to 10,000,000 degrees will kill you instantly, as would superchilling you to 1K, but is there some sort of formula? Eh, I learned a lot either way 😁
I do not know Fahrenheit, but I had fever close to 40°C once and my, I had the weirdest dreams in my life, I was close to hallucinating, and time behaved really weird. I am pretty sure my brain cannot operate at such temperatures.
The book "Ministry for the Future" starts with an interesting tragedy related to this. A heatwave in India, with sustained wet bulb temperatures of (meaning even being wet can't cool you down more than) 106 degrees F, millions die. Just the first in a long line of tragedies related to climate change.
To answer the question on the title: The cold kills you faster, and with less pain; so if you have a death wish, but wants to die in a cool way, i suggest Skyrim.
If were talking speed of death/diference to the body temperature i think it might be heat my man, death by hypothermia takes quite a while, but if you are at 50 degrees celcius, everything is already melted and ur dead in minutes
@@eduardop2111 It's relative, "mah man"; throwing numbers arbitrarily is easy: obviously the heat kills faster. I specifically went from likelihood on survival scenarios, based on the research I've done on the subject. Got it?
2:55 You are eating marshmallows with a bear... Are you some sort of... Russian? I can be your friend, if you’re so desperate that you have a bear as a friend.
Wow ... I was just thinking about this question today! And I was thinking how people fear being cold more than they do being hot. Is that just because more people can remember surviving the cold????
Our bodies are very sensitive to change, and so anything that changes too rapidly when we're ill or injured can cause shock. Essentially if our bodies detect that we are in some life-threatening situation we experience vasoconstriction, meaning the blood vessels in our extremities narrow. In the case of hypothermia, if you warm someone too quickly and they go into shock, all that cold blood will shoot to the middle of their bodies and cause even more problems. This is also the reasoning for why if someone is experiencing hyperthermia (extreme heat) that you don't allow them to cool down too fast by putting them into an iced bath or anything. Simply remove as much clothing as you can and get them to (preferably) a shady and air-conditioned spot with some water to sip on.
@@ThatOneGengar There is also the issue of frostbite, if you warm up a frost bitten body part to quickly it damages the tissues and can cause some pretty severe problems (on top of the harm from the frostbite itself. )
1:05 the illness that cause such high threatening temperatures are hyperpyrexia ,such extreme fever happens in a damaged heat regulating system (by genetic ,time or permanent damage from illness) that when a infection comes ,the system overdrives the heat of fever over intense temperatures ,or when a already existing normal fever is exposed to high amounts of anesthesia that causes reaction to heat the fever even worse for malignant hyperpyrexia. the nomal occasional fever between 37.5'c and 41.1'c is just being vulnerable to hyperpyrexia. 1:55 the next cause hypothermia below 35'c happens in cold weather without correct clothing or again ,body regulation damage. Correct As you said it can be helpful in a moderated time period , some adapted folks can live comfortably here ,unless it gets below 32'c where deep frostbite can happen. Shivering stops because your muscles can't have enough energy to do that anymore. Because your brain can't have enough energy ,confusion and lack of conceration happens .also the risk of caridac diseases increase as your vessels contract and there is less space for blood to flow. You might go to the emergency room after a while. Below 28'c can leave you unconscious and at risk of dying ,24 to 13 'c might not enough time for help to arrive and below that is just death for sure Im a gifted IQ 9 year old
That doesn't really answer the question though. At least not the one I was imagining when seeing the still and the title. I was assuming we were talking about which will make you die faster if you were exposed. As in, how long will it take to die in 120℉ weather vs 40℉ weather? Either way though, we still didn't talk about how fast each extreme kills you. It was really just answering how much of a difference from normal can our bodies handle? In other words, we can handle being colder than our normal than warmer than our normal by double (-40℉ vs +20℉). Which is interesting, but also not surprising since that's also the case with our weather. The maximum high temperatures here on Earth are only 20℉ to 30℉ above our body temperature but the lows are WAY below our body temperature (max of -126℉).
Interesting video idea related to the hot ans proteins braking : Finnish people use the sauna almost every week, there are even more saunas than cars in finland. But we often like to TOAST there in about 50-80 Celsius and avarage time used in there is about an hour So my question is : is it harmful to use the sauna in over 40celsius 1-7times a week and 1 hour everytime?
How do you typically measure your temperature? If you measure in the armpit or mouth, it’s usually about half a degree lower than if you measure in the ear, rectum or vagina. And it’s also possible that your usual body temperature is slightly lower than average as well, so it’s definitely possible to have a fever when you’re measuring 37°C.
Oh I thought this was going to be about the temperature of the surrounding environment. If we assume a default temperature of 20 C (68 F, regular room temparature, no sweating or shivering, no special clothes needed) Go up 30 degrees to 50 C (122 F) and it becomes very uncomfortable but survivable without special clothing. Go down 30 degreed to -10 C (14 F) and you won't last long in just your undies And saunas are usually between 65 C and 90 C (mostly around 80 C). Imagine sitting in the nude in -40 C (-40 F) for 10 minutes. Saunas are dry heat tho (even with the steam from pouring water on the hot rocks). Humidity makes a big difference. Especially for heat as it makes sweating less effective.
I heard stories about people falling into icy lakes and being the under the ice and unable to breathe. The frozen water cools their brain and they can survive with air for upwards of ten minutes.
I would add, that warming up is way easier than trying to cool down. If you end up in a cold environment without adequate supplies, you can keep yourself warm for a little while by being active, jumping around, etc. Won't help for long if you end up naked in the arctic at -50C, but you'd still be alive longer, then if you were in a desert at +50C. I know my brain feels like it's melting when it's hot, but in cold wheather I just flex my mustles and feel a lot warmer in a couple of minutes.
I onced had a 40C fever and i started hallucinating and having nightmares, my ears were also ringing, all i could do was lay in bed. Occasionally sleep, and wait till i got better... it started at 11:00 and ended at 7:00
While both extreme heat and cold can be deadly, the data suggests that cold is more deadly than heat. This is because cold can exacerbate pre-existing medical conditions, cause direct effects such as frostbite and hypothermia, and lead to a rapid loss of heat from the body.
For some reason I have a temperature sensitivity. If I get even just a little to hot and I get sweaty I can't breathe and I get rashes in different parts of my body and I get heat stroke and pass out after being in the summer heat after less then 15 mins. And in the winter I have to bundle up and wear extra layers and I can't be out in the cold longer then 15 mins. My nose gets red and cold, my fingers go blue and numb, and my entire body feels frozen from the inside out. And if I stay out in the cold to long I can very easily get pneumonia, bronchitis, or strep throat. One summer day in my early teens I went to a park near my house to meet up with some friends and I stayed out for a couple hours and was ready as a lobster and could barely walk or breathe and while on my way back home I collapsed from heat stroke and my friends just left me unconscious in the middle of the road, I woke up about 20-30 mins after and staggered home and my mom helped cool me down by giving me a few glasses of water and got me in for a cool shower. And pretty much almost every winter I get sick from the cold air and it reacks havoc on my lungs. I don't know what's wrong with my body but it hates being in heat and in freezing teps
Honestly both can kill you and it’s important we protect each other from it. Make sure you know the signs of hypothermia and hyperthermia and the like. But definitely like seeing the science behind what is more deadly.

What sort of external temperature (in air) would be needed for the cold side? My first thought is to just do 13.7-37 but -23.3C definetly sounds much too cold. I also wonder what temperature it becomes difficult for your body to keep up with internal body temp via thermalregulation.
It depends on personal tolerance, how well you have eaten, and how active you are while it’s cold. I can personally tolerate temperatures down to 20 degrees Fahrenheit with no winter clothing so long as I keep moving and eat plenty. But someone from the tropics would freeze much sooner even if they kept the same level of activity and food consumption. It doesn’t take long to acclimate though, typically within two weeks your body has adjusted to be able to handle current temperatures better.
Depends on way too many factors to calculate. Genetics, diet, fitness, acclimatization, and activity are factors on the human side, while moisture, wind, and contact with solids matters on the environmental side. A reasonably fit and well fed Inuit can happily wear a T shirt and jeans walking around outside in slightly below freezing weather all day long, but someone from the tropics would die of hypothermia in an hour or two if they were left in 5C water.
Hey I have a problem what kind of flies are those every time they're attractive to lights and then land and taking off the wings what kind of flies are those I need help and the only weakness is the cold what kind of flies are those and taking off their wings
The other thing that they didn’t mention is that humans can exercise to warm up. Soldiers in Afghanistan used to walk back and forth when they had night patrol in winter to not freeze to death. Do not go gently into that goodnight.
Exercise is a double-edged sword though. You continue to sweat while exercising even when you’re extremely cold, which means unless you have a way to keep dry you’ll just freeze again. Source: many Alaskan winter camping trips. (And pro tip, ALWAYS bring extra socks when winter camping.)
@@snuckytoes8427 You don’t _automatically_ sweat when exercising, but it’s an _extremely_ delicate balance, and the only clue that you’re exercising a bit too hard is that you’ve already begun to sweat.
@@snuckytoes8427 Not sweating is just an exercise in exertion management. If you are shivering, do mild to moderate exercise: get up and walk around, swing your arms, maybe a couple pushups, etc. You don't go straight from too cold to too hot doing mild exercise. You only start sweating if: 1. you keep exercising after you feel warm, and build up too much heat, 2. you do something that requires extreme exertion (burpees, sprints, etc.) and build up internal heat before your skin warms up, 3. you don't have your clothing properly matched to your body's heat distribution, and you overheat one part of your body (usually your core) while another one still feels cold (usually an extremity).
@@boosterh1113 I can tell you for a fact that you are wrong. No matter how cold you feel if you are working hard you will sweat. I have gone on many a trip where I never felt warm yet still had to change clothes due to sweating. Just exercising enough to keep warm will not keep you dry. This mostly applies in extreme cold (I’m talking negatives Fahrenheit here) but it also applies to more moderate temperatures. I have lived in Alaska my whole life, I know how exercising in the cold works.
@@snuckytoes8427 Don't know what to tell you. I am in the CAF, I've done the sentry shift at 0200 at -25C. I've done the Winter Warfare course. If you are shivering, get up and walk around. You won't sweat unless you over exert yourself. I mean, sure, if you get up and try to do crossfit routine, you're going to sweat no matter what (see my point #2), but some low intensity activity is just fine.
My initial thought when seeing this was “heat, because it can instantly evaporate you while heat escaping your body in absolute zero will kill you a bit slower.”
But when my boiler says the water is 55°C hot. Shouldn't I die bathing in it? I don't actually bath in 55°C hot water, thats painful, but I'm pretty sure we wouldn't die in there.
What the hell are you talking about? Are you stupid? It's your BODY temperature you need to worry about, not the temperature of the things around you. Well, you don't want to be uncomfortable, so do keep in mind what you're touching.
Doesn't bear body temp stay within a few degrees of 37 even while hibernating? Some smaller animals do get really cold(like hedgehogs), but i've been taught in school that bears practically just sleep.
I doubt anyone will answer this, but if you can get so cold and survive, why do we get hypothermia as low as 95F? I heard even that is life threatening.
I had a weird sort of flip flop between these states recently and basicly lost a whole day to it. First i went out and mowed the lawn in 90 degrees F tempetures, then I cam inside and had a shower that was on the particularly cold side because any warmer was uncomfortably warm, then I just sort of slept the next like 8 hours in my bed with my big snuggly bath robe on to warm back up to normal. Oh yea and then when I woke up I basked in the sun a bit.
you didnt mention how the chemical reactions that require the heat also generate heat, and more heat means faster reactions, producing even more heat, etc.
But in nature, on earth where can we survive longer? In a very cold pace or in a very hot place? I don't include volcano or burning forest, i am taking about a desert. If i am not mistaken it is better to be at a desert that a vey cold mountain as 5 minutes of the cold nature has to give us is enough to die but the desert gets mote time.
Also, consider that the temperature on earth goes much colder than it does hot.. a temperature over 40C is rare anywhere in the world, while temperatures like -20C are quite common on our planet So the planet also can get much colder than it gets hot
I think the highest fever I ever had was 104 or 105, at which point my mom drove me to the hospital. It's the weirdest thing but, the hotter you get, the less you sweat, but I SUPPOSE it makes sense if your body is trying to retain fluid in an attempt to cool you down. I couldn't sweat, an I was super groggy, but they hooked me up to an IV of water and saline solution, and I was fine about a half hour later.
fever is a self defense of our body, so when we have fever is you body trying to help you, the problem is......... 1- its not 100% guaranted it will help, as some virus and some problems may be resistent to the heat. 2- the body is not smart enough to understand us humans can use external medication to fix a problem it can't fix, for example if the body is having a fever to help with something but its failing to do so, the fever will kill you or cause hyperpyrexia instead of waiting properly medication from humans. so fever can kill you and can be dangerous even tho the brain just wanted to help you, but dying from fever is not common, if the body is not being able to fix the problem it is mostly like something very dangerous and you die from that instead of the fever, what is more common for fever to do is it can cause extreme brain damage.

@@MySerpentine Mythbusters. That is my response.
I though this would be more of an analysis: at what speed could each temp kill you, and how close is it to your body temp? Like some sort of integral analysis of killing speed vs temperature. Obviously being superheated to 10,000,000 degrees will kill you instantly, as would superchilling you to 1K, but is there some sort of formula?
Eh, I learned a lot either way 😁

I love when Minute Earth covers such nice and goofy topics such as "Would you freeze or burn to death quicker?"
Wow. I had a fever of 104 (F, obviously) once and...my cells were doing THAT?! Man, I had no idea fevers were _that_ creepy...
I do not know Fahrenheit, but I had fever close to 40°C once and my, I had the weirdest dreams in my life, I was close to hallucinating, and time behaved really weird. I am pretty sure my brain cannot operate at such temperatures.
40°C =104°F
The book "Ministry for the Future" starts with an interesting tragedy related to this. A heatwave in India, with sustained wet bulb temperatures of (meaning even being wet can't cool you down more than) 106 degrees F, millions die. Just the first in a long line of tragedies related to climate change.
To answer the question on the title: The cold kills you faster, and with less pain; so if you have a death wish, but wants to die in a cool way, i suggest Skyrim.
If were talking speed of death/diference to the body temperature i think it might be heat my man, death by hypothermia takes quite a while, but if you are at 50 degrees celcius, everything is already melted and ur dead in minutes

Wow ... I was just thinking about this question today! And I was thinking how people fear being cold more than they do being hot. Is that just because more people can remember surviving the cold????
3:07 ehhhh. VPNs don't shield your data from the websites you visit. Which is exactly where that data is collected?
Why heat up slowly and not too quickly? I hear that advice a lot, but I don't get to hear the understanding of it.
Our bodies are very sensitive to change, and so anything that changes too rapidly when we're ill or injured can cause shock.
Essentially if our bodies detect that we are in some life-threatening situation we experience vasoconstriction, meaning the blood vessels in our extremities narrow. In the case of hypothermia, if you warm someone too quickly and they go into shock, all that cold blood will shoot to the middle of their bodies and cause even more problems.
This is also the reasoning for why if someone is experiencing hyperthermia (extreme heat) that you don't allow them to cool down too fast by putting them into an iced bath or anything. Simply remove as much clothing as you can and get them to (preferably) a shady and air-conditioned spot with some water to sip on.
@@ThatOneGengar There is also the issue of frostbite, if you warm up a frost bitten body part to quickly it damages the tissues and can cause some pretty severe problems (on top of the harm from the frostbite itself. )
1:05 the illness that cause such high threatening temperatures are hyperpyrexia ,such extreme fever happens in a damaged heat regulating system (by genetic ,time or permanent damage from illness) that when a infection comes ,the system overdrives the heat of fever over intense temperatures ,or when a already existing normal fever is exposed to high amounts of anesthesia that causes reaction to heat the fever even worse for malignant hyperpyrexia.
the nomal occasional fever between 37.5'c and 41.1'c is just being vulnerable to hyperpyrexia.
1:55 the next cause hypothermia below 35'c happens in cold weather without correct clothing or again ,body regulation damage. Correct As you said it can be helpful in a moderated time period , some adapted folks can live comfortably here ,unless it gets below 32'c where deep frostbite can happen. Shivering stops because your muscles can't have enough energy to do that anymore. Because your brain can't have enough energy ,confusion and lack of conceration happens .also the risk of caridac diseases increase as your vessels contract and there is less space for blood to flow. You might go to the emergency room after a while. Below 28'c can leave you unconscious and at risk of dying ,24 to 13 'c might not enough time for help to arrive and below that is just death for sure

That doesn't really answer the question though. At least not the one I was imagining when seeing the still and the title. I was assuming we were talking about which will make you die faster if you were exposed. As in, how long will it take to die in 120℉ weather vs 40℉ weather?
Either way though, we still didn't talk about how fast each extreme kills you. It was really just answering how much of a difference from normal can our bodies handle? In other words, we can handle being colder than our normal than warmer than our normal by double (-40℉ vs +20℉). Which is interesting, but also not surprising since that's also the case with our weather. The maximum high temperatures here on Earth are only 20℉ to 30℉ above our body temperature but the lows are WAY below our body temperature (max of -126℉).
That last illustration of roasting marshmallows made me chuckle.
My stupid brain reads the title as "Which will you kill first?"
me too! I thought I was the only one! 🤣
Interesting video idea related to the hot ans proteins braking :
Finnish people use the sauna almost every week, there are even more saunas than cars in finland.
But we often like to TOAST there in about 50-80 Celsius and avarage time used in there is about an hour
So my question is : is it harmful to use the sauna in over 40celsius 1-7times a week and 1 hour everytime?
Are you feeling ok? At 37 it's almost fever... I am usually at 36.0 - 36.5
37 is normal for most people but for some it's the start of a fever.
I'm like that. My temp is usually around 35 so 37 is already too much.
I'm normally 36-35.5... some people just have weird conditions... or maybe I'm actually a lizard...
@@UnusualPete you ARE a lizard m8...
Every 'normal' value actually varies a bit from person to person.
How do you typically measure your temperature? If you measure in the armpit or mouth, it’s usually about half a degree lower than if you measure in the ear, rectum or vagina. And it’s also possible that your usual body temperature is slightly lower than average as well, so it’s definitely possible to have a fever when you’re measuring 37°C.
Oh I thought this was going to be about the temperature of the surrounding environment.
If we assume a default temperature of 20 C (68 F, regular room temparature, no sweating or shivering, no special clothes needed)
Go up 30 degrees to 50 C (122 F) and it becomes very uncomfortable but survivable without special clothing.
Go down 30 degreed to -10 C (14 F) and you won't last long in just your undies
And saunas are usually between 65 C and 90 C (mostly around 80 C). Imagine sitting in the nude in -40 C (-40 F) for 10 minutes. Saunas are dry heat tho (even with the steam from pouring water on the hot rocks). Humidity makes a big difference. Especially for heat as it makes sweating less effective.
So, it's better to live in COLD places!!!! 🥶🥶
The Hitman game is right about death by too hot sauna.
I LOVE cold alot
nah, i'd become an ice cube at 8°C air temperature or smth
I heard stories about people falling into icy lakes and being the under the ice and unable to breathe. The frozen water cools their brain and they can survive with air for upwards of ten minutes.

I would add, that warming up is way easier than trying to cool down. If you end up in a cold environment without adequate supplies, you can keep yourself warm for a little while by being active, jumping around, etc. Won't help for long if you end up naked in the arctic at -50C, but you'd still be alive longer, then if you were in a desert at +50C.

While both extreme heat and cold can be deadly, the data suggests that cold is more deadly than heat. This is because cold can exacerbate pre-existing medical conditions, cause direct effects such as frostbite and hypothermia, and lead to a rapid loss of heat from the body.
For some reason I have a temperature sensitivity. If I get even just a little to hot and I get sweaty I can't breathe and I get rashes in different parts of my body and I get heat stroke and pass out after being in the summer heat after less then 15 mins.
And in the winter I have to bundle up and wear extra layers and I can't be out in the cold longer then 15 mins. My nose gets red and cold, my fingers go blue and numb, and my entire body feels frozen from the inside out. And if I stay out in the cold to long I can very easily get pneumonia, bronchitis, or strep throat.
One summer day in my early teens I went to a park near my house to meet up with some friends and I stayed out for a couple hours and was ready as a lobster and could barely walk or breathe and while on my way back home I collapsed from heat stroke and my friends just left me unconscious in the middle of the road, I woke up about 20-30 mins after and staggered home and my mom helped cool me down by giving me a few glasses of water and got me in for a cool shower.
And pretty much almost every winter I get sick from the cold air and it reacks havoc on my lungs.
I don't know what's wrong with my body but it hates being in heat and in freezing teps
Have you been to the doctors about it?
@@unluckybat1390 I haven't been to see any kind of Dr in about a decade. Can't afford it
Honestly both can kill you and it’s important we protect each other from it. Make sure you know the signs of hypothermia and hyperthermia and the like.
But definitely like seeing the science behind what is more deadly.
Yeah I’m the heat you can get a heat stroke or in the cold you can get a really strong flu

🌱 Common sense of life 🌱
Common sense of life says you can only take off so many clothes, but you can always put on more layers to warm up.

So fucking what? Your body temperature is still normal, regardless what temperature the air is.

"Which will kill you first, hot or cold?"
Me: Uhhh, probably heart disease!
What sort of external temperature (in air) would be needed for the cold side? My first thought is to just do 13.7-37 but -23.3C definetly sounds much too cold.
I also wonder what temperature it becomes difficult for your body to keep up with internal body temp via thermalregulation.
It depends on personal tolerance, how well you have eaten, and how active you are while it’s cold. I can personally tolerate temperatures down to 20 degrees Fahrenheit with no winter clothing so long as I keep moving and eat plenty. But someone from the tropics would freeze much sooner even if they kept the same level of activity and food consumption. It doesn’t take long to acclimate though, typically within two weeks your body has adjusted to be able to handle current temperatures better.
Depends on way too many factors to calculate. Genetics, diet, fitness, acclimatization, and activity are factors on the human side, while moisture, wind, and contact with solids matters on the environmental side.
A reasonably fit and well fed Inuit can happily wear a T shirt and jeans walking around outside in slightly below freezing weather all day long, but someone from the tropics would die of hypothermia in an hour or two if they were left in 5C water.

Hey is 30 degrees Celsius just right as your usual body temp okay? I'm kinda worried about that one.
Oh sure, cold isn't bad for you--it just freezes your fingers and toes till they break off...

Can I ask does that mean if your body is colder eg, in a restaurant and the AC is way too cold, you tend to be less hungry/ eat less?

That isn't some sort of rickroll?
You did not let us down
They didn't give us up either
The other thing that they didn’t mention is that humans can exercise to warm up. Soldiers in Afghanistan used to walk back and forth when they had night patrol in winter to not freeze to death. Do not go gently into that goodnight.
Exercise is a double-edged sword though. You continue to sweat while exercising even when you’re extremely cold, which means unless you have a way to keep dry you’ll just freeze again. Source: many Alaskan winter camping trips. (And pro tip, ALWAYS bring extra socks when winter camping.)
@@snuckytoes8427
You don’t _automatically_ sweat when exercising, but it’s an _extremely_ delicate balance, and the only clue that you’re exercising a bit too hard is that you’ve already begun to sweat.
@@snuckytoes8427 Not sweating is just an exercise in exertion management. If you are shivering, do mild to moderate exercise: get up and walk around, swing your arms, maybe a couple pushups, etc. You don't go straight from too cold to too hot doing mild exercise. You only start sweating if:
1. you keep exercising after you feel warm, and build up too much heat,
2. you do something that requires extreme exertion (burpees, sprints, etc.) and build up internal heat before your skin warms up,
3. you don't have your clothing properly matched to your body's heat distribution, and you overheat one part of your body (usually your core) while another one still feels cold (usually an extremity).
@@boosterh1113 I can tell you for a fact that you are wrong. No matter how cold you feel if you are working hard you will sweat. I have gone on many a trip where I never felt warm yet still had to change clothes due to sweating. Just exercising enough to keep warm will not keep you dry. This mostly applies in extreme cold (I’m talking negatives Fahrenheit here) but it also applies to more moderate temperatures. I have lived in Alaska my whole life, I know how exercising in the cold works.
@@snuckytoes8427 Don't know what to tell you. I am in the CAF, I've done the sentry shift at 0200 at -25C. I've done the Winter Warfare course. If you are shivering, get up and walk around. You won't sweat unless you over exert yourself.
I mean, sure, if you get up and try to do crossfit routine, you're going to sweat no matter what (see my point #2), but some low intensity activity is just fine.
My initial thought when seeing this was “heat, because it can instantly evaporate you while heat escaping your body in absolute zero will kill you a bit slower.”
But when my boiler says the water is 55°C hot. Shouldn't I die bathing in it?
I don't actually bath in 55°C hot water, thats painful, but I'm pretty sure we wouldn't die in there.
What the hell are you talking about? Are you stupid? It's your BODY temperature you need to worry about, not the temperature of the things around you. Well, you don't want to be uncomfortable, so do keep in mind what you're touching.

What a toasty joke
I had a weird sort of flip flop between these states recently and basicly lost a whole day to it. First i went out and mowed the lawn in 90 degrees F tempetures, then I cam inside and had a shower that was on the particularly cold side because any warmer was uncomfortably warm, then I just sort of slept the next like 8 hours in my bed with my big snuggly bath robe on to warm back up to normal. Oh yea and then when I woke up I basked in the sun a bit.
my depression will kill me first
Then what is the coldest temperature for our body could get before fatal?

But in nature, on earth where can we survive longer? In a very cold pace or in a very hot place? I don't include volcano or burning forest, i am taking about a desert. If i am not mistaken it is better to be at a desert that a vey cold mountain as 5 minutes of the cold nature has to give us is enough to die but the desert gets mote time.
Also, consider that the temperature on earth goes much colder than it does hot.. a temperature over 40C is rare anywhere in the world, while temperatures like -20C are quite common on our planet
So the planet also can get much colder than it gets hot
temperatures above 40 happen multiple days per year nearly every year here ;u;
I think the highest fever I ever had was 104 or 105, at which point my mom drove me to the hospital. It's the weirdest thing but, the hotter you get, the less you sweat, but I SUPPOSE it makes sense if your body is trying to retain fluid in an attempt to cool you down. I couldn't sweat, an I was super groggy, but they hooked me up to an IV of water and saline solution, and I was fine about a half hour later.

0:45 That means THAT'S WHY We suffer fever when we are sick, our body overheats itself to boost The immune system, right?
fever is a self defense of our body, so when we have fever is you body trying to help you, the problem is.........
1- its not 100% guaranted it will help, as some virus and some problems may be resistent to the heat.
2- the body is not smart enough to understand us humans can use external medication to fix a problem it can't fix,
for example if the body is having a fever to help with something but its failing to do so, the fever will kill you or cause hyperpyrexia instead of waiting properly medication from humans. so fever can kill you and can be dangerous even tho the brain just wanted to help you, but dying from fever is not common, if the body is not being able to fix the problem it is mostly like something very dangerous and you die from that instead of the fever, what is more common for fever to do is it can cause extreme brain damage.
