Hi Everyone! I'm planning on adding stuff here but first enjoy your new weekly mega <3

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

what defines a fever keeps increasing. in the ussr it was anything above 37. 2 years ago it was like anything above 37.6. now i googled my fever and it says 38.3 is the fever cutoff that needs a doctor. is this healthcare under capitalism?

I think it depends on your baseline temperature and where exactly you measure it.

It depends on how you take a temperature. A temperature taken by mouth over 100 degrees F (37.8 degrees C) is considered a fever. Armpit temperature over 99 degrees F (37.2 degrees C), or rectal, ear or forehead temperature over 100.4 degrees F (38 degrees C) are also all considered fever. And while armpit, ear and forehead temperature is the easiest to measure, the most accurate means of measuring fever is with an oral or rectal thermometer.

i measure the armpit, and i use a mercury thermometer because the stupid new electronic ones measure like 0.6-1.5 degrees off because they're so stupid

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The electronic ones will measure off usually because they're calibrated to get closer to core body temp. Oral temp will be different from axial will be different from temporal etc, but the smarter ones now will calibrate for whatever the target area is. They're usually faster but nothing beats keeping it in your armpit for a minute or two or in your mouth for a minute.

i don't think the core body temp is 36.2 when I'm measuring a temperature on the mercury of 37.1
