The times they are a-changin’.
This post seems to be older than 15 years—a long time on the internet. It might be outdated.
I think I’m getting sick. Woke up this morning with a really bad stuffy nose. Headache developed mid day. Went to Safeway and got a thermocouple, err digital thermometer for those that don’t go to Mines.
96.8° F
Normal.
Update: 98.2° F @ 6:54pm MDT
96.8 is not normal. 98.6 is.
From WebMD:
Most people think of a “normal” body temperature as an oral temperature of 98.6 °F(37 °C). This is an average of normal body temperatures. Your temperature may actually be 1°F (0.6°C) or more above or below 98.6 °F(37 °C). Also, your normal body temperature changes by as much as 1°F (0.6°C) throughout the day, depending on how active you are and the time of day.
I’m not too worried about being a little “low”. I’m more worried when it starts to creep up toward 100°F and my brain cells start to fry.
