In the USA, unlike Russia, the International SI system of units. Therefore, the distance there is measured in miles, weight – in pounds and temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. If translate normal body temperature measured in degrees Celsius (36.6 °), in degrees Fahrenheit, you get 98.6 °. What if 98.6 ° F translate back to degrees Celsius, you get 37 ° Therefore, if you ask an American what is the normal temperature body on a Celsius scale, then he will confidently answer “37 degrees.”
Strictly speaking, there is no “normal” body temperature – during the day it is constantly changing within 0.5 °. In addition, the temperature body increases after eating any high-calorie food or performing physical exercises.
This is interesting: it is generally believed that temperatures are above 44 ° and below 24 ° is deadly. But in history, there are cases when humans survived with body temperatures of 46.5 ° and 14.2 °. In the first case the cause of the extreme temperature was heat stroke, and in the second case – severe hypothermia.
