Description
Most of us have had a fever before, and many of us have suffered from extreme cold. Why does the body react in such extreme ways to temperature changes? How have we tried to cure fevers and shivers throughout history? Can sufferingfrom these temperatures heal as well as harm? In today's session, we will explore the causes, problems, and cures of overheating or hypothermia.
