108

How are you alive.

[riddian]

That was my first thought, but on a reread it appears that it actually says 103. Not the greatest font choice, methinks.

[fingalsanteater]

Ha. I read 108 too, at first. But, yeah. it says 103.

[scrubber]

That's kinda disappointing and relieving. On one hand - life, on the other hand a Death God made this secret.

[(Anonymous)]

I've had 108 before and lived.

[scrubber]

I... hope you went to the hospital?

[cassandraoftroy]

I came here to say that.

[(Anonymous)]

I've had a temperature that spiked to 108 before. It's possible to survive that, provided it doesn't stay there and you get proper medical attention. You definitely wouldn't be reading, though. Or remotely coherent.

[iceyred]

That cover is creeping me out.

[(Anonymous)]

It's originally from God's Man, a novel in woodcuts (without words!) by the awesome Lynd Ward:

[iceyred]

That's not something you see every day. Looks interesting. Have you read it?

[(Anonymous)]

Yup--my aunt owned it. He did a whole bunch of novels-without-words, back in the 30s.

[kaijinscendre]

You start getting brain damage at 107 degrees....

[(Anonymous)]

Depends on the age of the patient, how long the temp. stays that high (often not that long), if the underlying infection is viral/bacterial, what meds if any are being administered, there are a lot of mitigating factors.

I would much prefer a spiking fever, because at least it can only go down, after it breaks. I have been fighting a low-grade remitting/relapsing fever for three and a half weeks, though, so I may be biased.

[hlagol]

the best translation OTP there ever was

[hlagol]

the oldest of schools

[silverr]

Yeah I cam here to say "108 and you didn't die" as well.

The "secret" does make sense. when you're feverish you don't want intellectually challenging or convoluted, you want languid and dreamlike.

[(Anonymous)]

Some of my fondest memories are my mom reading to me when I was sick. I tried to reread some of the books but you can't recreate that feeling of being dizzy and not-quite-there, so it's different experience.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm the same way. When I was diagnosed with lymphoma (in remission for 4 years now, yay!), I had fevers very frequently, and I read a lot of horror-related books during that time. So much so that the first word I think of when I hear Stephen King's name is "chemo," lol.

[blueonblue]

Next time you're ill, give Julio Cortazar's Hopscotch a try. It might go well with fever.

[(Anonymous)]

I've read the Gulag and can't imagine concentrating on it with a temp of 103. (I also read 108 and wondered how it was compatible with life or reading) well done for that OP.
