High Fever Overview
Various diseases have plagued the human race for millennia, and
at best they inspire fear and apprehension, and at worst, fear
and blind panic. Until the early-mid 20th century, fever was a
word that struck fear into people all over the world, and death
from high fever was common.

vaccines, most of the diseases that caused these high fevers are
now either treatable or preventable.
Recent research has actually discovered that fever is not our
enemy. Indeed, it has been found that fever is an important part
of the body's defence against whatever infectious agent is
invading the body. The fever is an indicator that a battle is
