Discover what happens in your body when you have a fever and why its role in our immune response remains a mystery to scientists. There are many mysteries around fever, but we do know that all mammals, some birds and even a few invertebrate and plant species feel fever s heat. It has persisted for over 600 million years of evolution. But it has a significant cost: for every degree increase in temperature, there s a 12. 5% increase in energy required. So, why and how does your body produce a fever? Christian Moro investigates. Agrim: Thanks Ted Ed. I was just asking this question to everyone around me for the past half year that if fever is good (inflammatory response, why we suppress it? Thanks very much, you cleared it in 5 minutes: )

In most of my sicknesses I didn't have any fever. But I knew it is a way your body is suppressing the disease inside yourself. Always wondered how it worked and didn't make quite much sense because you need to produce more energy to keep/rise your body temperature but now I get it. That's why we suddenly have to drink two times More! Thanks a lot TED ED, best teacher

feels good to know enough that no longer every educational video is new info. At the least I knew the basic idea behind it.
Also, TED used Celsius. Perhaps one day the plague that is Fahrenheit will be abolished

Can we all just appreciate the amount of time and effort Ted-Ed's team put in each and every video since the beginning and how they started off eight years ago and are still active with new content. Hats off!

Hypothalamus - I'll raise the body temperature to 103 F to kill this freaking parasite. It doesn't stand a chance at that temperature.
Me - Budy. I don't stand a chance at that temperature as well. !

That occasional mosquito buzzing sound in background is annoying. I checked 4 times if there is a mosquito near me and realised that its the sound in video.

Just gotten over a 2 day fever. I'm better now for anyone reading and I know what to do and not do for any future fevers I get. This was a informational video
reply

I wish you could give both Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures. It s frustrating to listen & then have to find a conversion table in order to follow.

Find out with this video
It said, at the end of the video without presenting a new video(at least a new one wasn't presented on mobile)

When you understand that what you know as feeling ill is your immune system trying to fight a virus you won t see fever with the same eyes
