How hot can a human stand?
How does – or doesn’t – your body cope in extreme situations? The maximum body temperature a human can survive is 108.14°F. At higher temperatures the body turns into scrambled eggs: proteins are denatured and the brain gets damaged irreparably. Cold water draws out body heat.
