The body is generally unable to raise the core temperature to the point where it can cause permanent damage, unless the ambient temperature is high. That is, unless there is a pre-existing heart or other vital organ condition.
In fact, fevers >=39C (102.2F) showed better outcomes in covid patients.
Macrophages just want to watch the whole body burn.
From what I’ve read, anything over about 101F is doing more harm than good.
This does not appear to match the evidence anymore: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7717216/

I thought danger was at 104F??
Apparently, ~108F, but generally, the body needs help to get there.
