How a fever is transfered from an ill person?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is not: The virus or bacteria is transferred. The fever is the body reaction and temperature rises when germs die and spill their contents. Natural therapists ascribe to the theory that elevated temperature helps to kill the germs.
