Answers:
It isn't always bad, actually. A fever is your body's natural way of fighting off bacteria and viruses by making the body too hot for them to survive. However, too high of a temperature can affect your own cells and brain and cause you to have seizures and, if high enough, brain death.Health Question & Answer
