Febrility is an inside job, you get fevers when there's inflammation/infection/etc goin on in the body, and your brain's hypothalamus regulates your temperature from within.
Hyperthermia is an outside job. Our environment is heating us up, and with severe hyperthermia, or heat stroke, we're above 104 Fahrenheit or 40 degrees celsius, and we can't cool ourselves off on our own by sweating, breathing, and all that good stuff.

Wooo! It is blazing outside!
Says everyone in Seattle, when it’s over
like 65, but I ain't going to lie
I think this Summer is going to be banging
and I know
some of you in Louisiana, Georgia, Bama, Texas, Oklahoma.
You guys are keeping it way more than a hundred,
for way too long.
So with that, we’ve got high risks of heatstroke.
Which you may have heard of, but you might
not quite understand.
The medical name?
Severe non-exertional or exertional hyperthermia.
So normal body temperature is around 98.6
degrees Fahrenheit, or 37 degrees Celsius,
everywhere else in the f#$@! world.
So you’re out shopping, and you leave grandpa
in the car with the windows rolled up,
and he's got dementia and he’s looking for the window pump in your 2018 “S-Class.”
He's confused, he’s hot, and he can't seem
to get out.
Well after a while, when the environment heats
up grandpa’s body temperature to over 104 degrees...
We’ve got a problem.
Now heat stroke is a medical emergency, and can be deadly,
so it’s important you know what it looks like.
Now you get back to “papa-potato,” and
he’s feeling extra weak, he’s got a headache,
he’s nauseous or dizzy.
He’s breathing real fast.
He’s being strange or slurring his words,
or even unconscious.
Maybe he’s having seizures.
Get that man to a hospital!
If you call for an ambulance, while you’re
waiting, it’s recommended
that you cool them off, and quick.
... 𝗪𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛 for more!
