Question 296100
It's higher than that of most people's normal temperature.
Most people's temp is between 98 and 99F.
The person probably has an elevated temperature due to illness.
----------------------------
Our bodies react to an invasion by pathogens by raising its temperature.  This is beneficial when combatting many illnesses.
TV ads show aspirin and other OTC meds that "reduce fever."  This is not necessarily a good idea and can prolong the illness and/or increase the severity of the illness.  It's good for the sales of the product, tho.
