Yes, and some others around 106F and 106,5F ( I am making aproximations, because the temperature is in Celsius here in Brazil). The highest was 41.7C and some others around 40.5C and 41C

I had a 107 degree temperature when I was 8 years old and in the hospital with meningitis. I had to take a bath in ice to reduce the fever.

But the worst pain I ever experienced in my life was having fluid removed from my spine (spinal tap). To this day, I can't stand being touched in that area.

Spinal meningitis can be a crippling illness. I was lucky since I "only" lost some of my vision, which was corrected with glasses.

Yes, I was treated like this ate home some times. I had this high fevers so many times, that my mother didn't take me to the hospital imediately, she put me under a VERY cold shower. This was all due to urinary infaction ( I don't know if this is the name in english) .

But the worst illness I ever had was a tumor when I was 2.5 year old. It was so violent the it completly bissected my spinal cord at torax level, in just 1 night. Fortunantely I was cured by surgery, radioterapy and my parents praying.

In case anyone need to know:

°C * 1.8 + 32 = °F
(°F - 32) / 1.8 = °C

107°F = 41.66°C
Quite a lot!! :eek:
