Forget everything you thought you knew about body temperature and fever, starting with 98.6°F. A new study found the average normal temperature in adults is 97.7°F and the average fever starts at 99.5°F wired.trib.al/lji4qB3

A new study led by Boston Children’s @hausmannMD refutes the age-old benchmark of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, an antiquated number based on a flawed study from 1868: ms.spr.ly/6016rADFm via @WIRED #WhatIsAFever

98.6 degrees F is NOT our normal body temp. Turns out, there's no such thing as normal. (But if you need a #, it's 97.7) bit.ly/2Ny3kQG
