Waching daily Mar 30 2018

A friend of mine asked me the other day whether Uber and Lyft is a pyramid

scheme and, honestly, that's a really good question.

Now the first thing that we need to discuss is the difference between a pyramid scheme and multi-level

marketing. The difference is pretty small. In multi-level marketing there's a

product sold by salespeople and they receive additional money if they recruit

new people to sell things. Usually this is in the form of percentage of earnings

but it can also be in the form of a bonus. Multi-level marketing usually

requires purchase of items that are then intended to be sold. These items can

either be sold to customers or they can be sold to new people that you've roped

in. Examples of companies that use multi-level marketing are Tupperware,

Avon, Mary Kay, and Pampered Chef. There's a very interesting discussion that you

could have about how these companies tend to prey on women. Particularly

because they often advertise that you can work from home, choose your own hours,

things that are often attractive to stay-at-home mothers. Now the only

difference between a pyramid scheme and multi-level marketing is that a pyramid

scheme has no real intention of selling product. The focus is much more on

recruitment and they are really just trying to get your money. Pyramid schemes

are illegal in the US, Canada and many other countries. One quick test is

whether or not it's easy to sell back product that you were unable to sell.

So does Uber and Lyft use multi-level marketing? In short, yes. But that doesn't

necessarily mean that it's bad. The way that Uber's recruitment bonuses work is

the new driver has to complete a certain number of drives. Once they hit that

number of drives, they receive X dollars. The number of drives and the amount that

they receive is entirely dependent on what city they're located in. I've seen

some as low as $10 and I've seen some as high as $1,000. But that amount

has received in full once the person reaches that number of drives they're

required to reach. The person who referred them also receives a certain

amount of money once they hit that limit. The original driver who referred them is

usually receiving a lower number than the new driver. For passenger referrals

drivers do not receive money. Instead they receive rider credits so if I

wanted to go somewhere and someone has used my code I might get five dollars

off on my ride. Now the driver referral program on Lyft used to be set up like

Uber's, but they actually changed it. Now instead of receiving the lump sum once

you've hit the number of drives, you have a certain time period in which to

complete your drives and during that time you'll receive a certain amount for

each drive that you do. So for example if you have to complete 100 drives to

receive $350 you'll receive $3.50 for each drive

you do up until that point. And it's the same for the driver who referred you. For

each srive that you do, they'll receive X dollars. For the passenger referral for Lyft,

every time someone uses your code you'll get $10. Now an important difference is

that you're never giving these companies any money directly. You could say that

for each drive you are purchasing a product because they are taking 25%, but

Uber and Lyft are not going to ask you to give them any money. The only things

that you pay for are things that you do yourself such as gas, car washes, the

extra perks, seat covers. You're also not getting a percentage of what someone

else would be earning. The driver that you referred isn't receiving less

because you referred them. Companies that utilize multi-level marketing also tend

to have these grandiose examples of people who have made millions selling

their product. Now first of all, those things just generally aren't true, but

also Uber and Lyft aren't really making those claims. They may say you can make

$850 a week or something, but these aren't unattainable goals.

No one is getting rich doing Uber and Lyft. In fact, Uber and Lyft are only just now

starting to turn a profit. This is in part because of their referral programs.

But now that they're doing upfront pricing shady practices, which I

mentioned in a previous video and I'll link to at the end of this one and in

the description, this is how they're going to be turning a profit very soon.

But importantly, the focus for Uber and Lyft is definitely not on referring new

drivers. In fact drivers are kind of disincentivized from referring new

drivers if they want to continue driving. A lot of drivers in an area are going to

make it so you personally are getting fewer drives so a lot of drivers see

other drivers as competition. I personally don't but I also am not the

average driver. In really most demographics. So even though it can be

helpful for a small bonus, most people aren't really going to make a lot from

it. Now it's really important to be able to recognize when companies using

multi-level marketing are trying to take advantage of you. The things that make

multi-level marketing attractive are exactly the things that Uber and Lyft

advertise. Make your own schedule, be your own boss.

People who drive are also especially vulnerable for new multi-level marketing

that pops up. Trying to get you to wrap your car in advertisements or sell

things in your car. These things can be good and people make a lot of money from

them. But you have to be careful that you're not getting too sucked into the

tell other people to do it aspect. When it comes down to it if the product isn't

something that you're comfortable selling, you shouldn't be bringing other

people into it. I personally enjoy driving. I know lots of people who don't.

People who don't enjoy driving shouldn't be trying to get other people to drive.

I totally understand if the referral bonus part of Uber and Lyft makes

people squeamish. But if you want to be a driver and you're signing up, you should

be using a referral code. Otherwise you're just not gonna get that money.

As always my referral code can be found in many places including the description.

But if you're interested in supporting me in a more direct way, I have created a

Patreon account. Patreon is a website where you can support content creators

directly and often receive extra pieces of it. This is actually my second time

recording this video and the first time I recorded it I had some weird things

happen so probably will be releasing part of that on my Patreon if I actually have

anyone sign up. If you want to, no pressure. It's just, you know, sometimes

nice to support people that you like doing something that you like. I hope you

have a great day and if you have any questions feel free to email me at

munchkym@gmail.com. I'll always respond unless you're a huge jerk. I'll probably

still respond then and tell you that you're a huge jerk. Okay bye!

Why is Fortnite Battle Royale so wildly popular? - Duration: 11:22.

Why is Fortnite Battle Royale so wildly popular?

Fortnite Battle Royale isn't merely the biggest game of 2018; it's a genuine cultural phenomenon. From middle-school playgrounds to frat house parties to million-view YouTube livestreams, it's become an obsession for millions of fans.

Gaming hasn't seen anything this big since the coming of Minecraft.

What is it about Fortnite Battle Royale that has driven it to such heights? And what will other game developers be analyzing as they seek to repeat its success? My friends and colleagues at Polygon put our heads together and came up with more than 25 reasons why Fortnite Battle Royale reigns supreme.

SHAREABLE MOMENTS

Obviously, the game is fun. But what makes it enjoyable? First and foremost, Battle Royale designed to be a blank slate for vivid personal stories.

Once inside the game, it's easy to be swept up in the travails and adventures of your avatar.

Every time that bus cruises over the island, a hundred narratives unfold. Some of them are as forgettable as "I opened the door to a house and someone blew me apart with a shotgun." Others are more textured.

When I achieved my first Victory Royale, I couldn't stop myself from recounting the whole story to my entire family. It helps that the game is eminently shareable. The flowering of Twitch streams is only part of the story.

As a console game, it favors collective couch play. My kids and I sit together in our gaming den and take turns playing. Watching one another play is almost as much fun as actually playing ourselves.

The perfectly parceled span it takes to enter a game, start playing and then die (or win) is conducive to this sort of social dynamic.

Players can feel a great sense of personally directed achievement, even when they don't win. For some, getting into the top five is enough of a goal.

Others are happy to find the sniper rifle and take out as many enemies as they can, before they're found and eliminated.

SMART DESIGN

Each elimination is an achievement in itself, yielding a satisfying loot drop from the defeated enemy. The wide range of cleverly designed weapons and gadgets on offer invite experimentation and specialization.

Plenty of us are just as happy to find a mobile bush as we are to get hold of a high-powered sniper rifle (but doing both is ideal).

But killing people isn't merely a matter of having twitchy first-person shooter skills or making use of carefully designed environmental sight-lines. It's almost like a hunt, with attendant risks and rewards.

Making use of cover and geography is a tactical game unto itself. There are other elements at play that make Battle Royale such a good social experience.

The world is cartoonishly pretty and welcoming, much more so than the slightly forbidding environs of most multiplayer shooting games — or even of Fortnite's very obvious inspiration, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

The map is a rolling buffet of varied environments, from close-quarter buildings to open meadows, with plenty of verticality. We all have our favorite places.

There's also a happy lack of seriousness in the world's gaudy coloring, as well as a complete absence of gore or even corpses, which plays well to kids and to parents.

FREE AND EASY

Developer and publisher Epic Games has done a solid job of creating a stable game with simple interfaces, and that's easy for beginners to play.

This speaks to the company's long and tortured investment in the original Fortnite, and in its ability to quickly iterate on PUBG's success. Creating a world that could quickly be turned into a battle royale is probably one of Epic's greatest achievements.

PUBG was originally a big hit with the PC gaming crowd, eventually migrating to a single console platform with a $30 price. Fortnite Battle Royale is free.

I have no doubt that it's being played extensively by many families who own a gaming console, but who do not have the disposable income to buy all the latest games.

This broad popularity expands its audience considerably, leading to shorter wait times in queuing lobbies.

Fortnite is also on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and mobile, a near-platform ubiquity that allows for widespread cultural acceptance and even hooks into celebrity co-option, as they're more likely to use consoles than gaming PCs.

But let's get back to the game itself, and the elements of its design that make it compelling and (yes, I think this word is justifiable) addictive.

DEPTH AND SOPHISTICATION

Unlike most popular online games, Fortnite offers players the chance to make use of multiple player skills, most of which are optional. At its core, it's a game about shooting people.

But that belies the fact that most people, most of the time, are actually not shooting people.

Battle Royale is also a pretty good stealth game, allowing players to creep their way into the end-game without firing a shot. It's also about exploring the world, finding those loot chests, sniper positions and hide-y holes.

It encourages collection of resources, which are then used to build towers.

This building mechanic is easy to understand, but takes a great deal of practice to master. It separates the great players, from the also-rans, without making the game onerous for those who don't bother building.

Building is also a creative endeavor, albeit under the most strenuous circumstances. As a mediocre fort builder, I'm often amazed at the complexity and ingenuity of other players' forts, all the more for their provisional nature.

Battles between fort-builders are often tactically complex endgames, revealing clever strategies that delight viewers.

There really aren't that many build-and-battle games out there. And while the big FPS brands are searching for ways to freshen up their offerings, something that feels new has come along to eat their lunch.

There are many games that could have achieved something similar. The fact is, they didn't.

SOCIAL GLUE

Epic keeps Fortnite Battle Royale feeling fresh with interesting timed events and new modes. Personalization and progression, rather than the game itself, is the source of monetization.

I confess to being heartily sick of my kids begging me for this or that package, but I've only spent $25 to date, and I can't count the number of hours we've all spent with this game.

But the game has enough hooks that are free, and that provide boasts and talking points. The multicolored llama, for example, is always a joy to find, yielding plenty of loot.

Epic has resisted the urge to be stingy in its free offering, creating cultural icons that are used in memes and livestreams. This generally agreeable air extends to the game's social atmosphere.

I don't doubt that there are people playing who are happy to indulge in toxicity, but apart from fun little proxies — like the "loser dance" — there's little evidence of players behaving badly.

This is a powerful design aspect that many other online games have yet to achieve. A great deal of work has gone into finding new ways for friends to interact through this world.

It offers both the mobile-like convenience of pick-up-and-play, as well as the sort of competitive depth that motivates players of all ages to ever-greater feats, such as stacking up wins.

If nothing else, this is probably Fortnite Battle Royale's biggest pull. It's about us, personally, doing the things we want to do in a world that allows for individuality.

But it also connects us with others in ways that many other shooting games have neglected.

There are those who say that the game is little more than an opportunistic take on PUBG, something that was in the right place at the right time.

I think this argument overlooks many of Battle Royale's unique qualities, as well as the additions and tweaks we are likely to see in the months ahead.

Epic took the best bits of PUBG and quickly iterated a game that would appeal to casual players, many of whom have previously spent little time in online combat arenas — or have never even heard of PUBG.

And that's a huge success in and of itself.

Now Fortnite is telling kids to stop playing in class

It's really cool and all that Fortnite Battle Royale is now on iOS, but for teachers, it's a nightmare.

There may not be much for teachers to do to get their students from playing during class, beyond collecting and banning iPhones from their classrooms — but at least Epic Games is doing its part to help, even a tiny bit, as seen in Battle Royale's latest update.

A loading screen for the mobile version features this text right below that colorful llama: "Mr Hillman says stop playing in class.

" Who's Mr Hillman? He's a teacher, Reddit user and Fortnite fan, who took to the game's forum this week to ask the developer for help. "First, I love your game," Hillman wrote on the Battle Royale forum.

(The post has since been deleted, as users warned him against attaching his actual name to his Reddit account.) "My friends from college and I play pretty much every night.

One problem, since mobile came out my students won't stop playing in class. Idk if it's possible, but I told them I'd write you and they didn't believe me.

Could you add this to the loading screen for a couple days to mess with them? 'Mr Hillman says stop playing in class.'".

Well, Epic Games was paying attention — the studio is super active in the Fortnite Reddit community — and now the game says exactly that when you load it up.

Whether or not that's actually going to be effective in getting kids to stop secretly playing under their desks. all I can say is that I wish Mr Hillman luck.

Spring is Coming! Dalgety Bay to Aberdour Chatty Vlog | Kate's Adventures - Duration: 16:21.

Hi everyone! Today when I woke up it was a beautiful sunny day

and it was the sort of day where I just didn't want to stay inside at all.

So here I am again, I'm gonna walk to Aberdour from Dalgety Bay

we've got the radioactive beach here

and I think I'm gonna answer some questions

and just have a little chat on the way to Aberdour.

Now if you've watched my channel before you're maybe thinking

haven't I seen this before?

Haven't we seen the radioactive beach and the castle and everything else?

You have. So this time

I'm going to be doing just more of a chat really

we'll have some nice scenery in the background

but ultimately it's just gonna be a bit of a chatty vlog.

If you want to see the version of this walk

where I go into great depth about the different landmarks

I'm gonna link it down below so you can check that out

but otherwise I hope you enjoy.

When I was picking out stuff to wear today

I wanted to have something on that was lightweight

but would keep me warm if it got really dark and horrible and wet.

And I found my YouTube jacket

and I was given this at the end of last year and then

the community that I'm a Top Contributor for closed down

so I don't actually have a use for this jacket.

So if you can think of anything fun I might be able to do with this jacket

I might customize it, it's a nice little bomber jacket

then do let me know down below.

[GUITAR MUSIC]

I'm round at the old church again

because I find it so hard to walk past this place

and not come and say hello because

it was somewhere I just really thought was amazing as a kid.

And I know I said that in the other vlog but I don't care.

So let's go up here and just get some amazing views again.

Look at this, it's just wonderful.

And it's amazing to me that this hasn't been knocked down at all

or tried to be replaced with something else.

It's just managed to stay standing here, which is really really cool.

So anyways I'm gonna get back on the walk because if I don't

I'll end up just staying here, let's be honest cause I could.

It's nice and peaceful and there's lovely views of the sea.

Now I'm heading along the path to Braefoot Bay,

which is... I think it's owned by the military or something.

It's not really an area you're supposed to go in

but this path you are allowed to go along, it's like a right-of-way thing.

So usually I'd be along the path

by where that set of bushes is.

But today I'm going to come along this path instead

and I think eventually I do join that path again

but this is like a little mini adventure.

Like I've been along this walk so many times as a kid

but I've never been along this bit so this is a little bit different.

And I don't know what I'm gonna see so this could be good.

Hello darling, are you a fan?

It's nice to meet you, you don't have to hide in the bushes though.

You can come up and say hello to me.

Do you know that? Hello my darlings.

I'm making loads of new friends here.

I get the feeling they're not gonna subscribe though.

Maybe they're just like fair-weather friends.

[GUITAR MUSIC]

That thing there I thought was the Eiffel Tower.

And when I was little I used to climb up on a climbing frame

at the playground we used to go to

and I'd be like "I'm so high, I can see the Eiffel Tower!"

And my mum was just like "Sweetie, that's not the Eiffel Tower"

that's just a telegraph tower somewhere.

Like a transmitter is the word I'm looking for, transmitter.

So yes I obviously wasn't well-traveled as a child.

This is Braefoot Bay and it's owned by the Ministry of Defense

so it's not really a place where you can go and snoop around and stuff.

I can't remember exactly what they do here

but I just know from childhood it's a place that we didn't ever go to.

So yeah, there's a mystery for the video.

I am just gonna go home and Google it

and then I'll put a link down below in the description

or I'll say in the description what I found out about it

if anybody's particularly interested.

I can see something in this field. Now is it a duck?

I think it's duck. I'll know for sure when I get home.

It could just be a pigeon.

Just call me David Attenborough, have I just spotted a pigeon?

Update for you all, I just turned the camera off, it flew away

it was a pigeon.

This is why people come to my vlogs, to see good quality nature.

Sorry guys, that was a pigeon.

Three weeks ago we were totally snowed under in Scotland.

And when I say "snowed under"

I know that some countries have more snow than what we got,

but in Scotland we don't really know how to handle it, if I'm totally honest.

The roads suffer and as a result everything shuts down.

So we were unable to really leave the house.

We could walk to places

but then places like the shops were shut because the staff couldn't get in

and there wasn't really anywhere to go unless you were walking a dog.

Let me just get that thing off there, okay there we are.

This is a super casual vlog, I'm not even gonna edit that out.

We're just going to keep that in.

So it's really funny to me that we've went from that to Summer so quickly

and I know that this doesn't look particularly summery

but realistically this is what Summer's like in Scotland.

A nice Spring day is like a "meh" Summer's day.

So I'll take it, I'll take it

and I'm glad I've made the use of it.

I know I've said that a few times but I really am glad I've made the use of it.

Because when I was stuck indoors I just wished that I could go anywhere.

Anywhere. Even if it was just to the other side of the town.

I was just wishing that I wasn't in the house.

It's fairly serene out here today.

There's not as many cars as I expected to see on the roads

and I don't know if that's cause everybody's getting ready for Easter.

I don't really know.

But all the same it's been really nice, the blue sky is coming out again there

and I've had a fun day.

I think I'm just gonna sit down here for a minute, in the sand.

Because again it felt like when the snow was everywhere

like I wasn't gonna see sand again.

And I know that's awfully dramatic, but there we go.

And I was talking about my YouTube jacket earlier.

The reason they usually give people YouTube jackets

is so that when they go to events and things, they can represent.

And that kind of got me thinking about which events I'm going to this year.

I've already missed VidCon EU, I'm not really sold on that one if I'm totally honest.

I don't really know what to think of it just yet.

It might be that in the future I decide to go

but this year I wasn't overly enthused by the idea.

And then the next one that people'll probably ask me about is VidCon US

and I'm definitely not going to that because I'm going to see Taylor Swift instead.

So I won't be there and then Summer in the City is in London

and London is one of those places

where I can take fairly last-minute journeys to and it's not a big deal.

So I feel like it's way too early to decide whether I'm going to Summer in the City or not.

I'd love to go and if I'm able to sort it out with work and things

then I would love to be there again, see everybody

but I don't know for sure at the moment.

And I feel like Summer in the City is one that you really need to ask me about nearer the time.

Like maybe July.

July I'll probably have more of an idea of whether or not I'm going.

I'm just kind of sitting here digging and I've found this massive stone

and it reminds me of the Philosopher's Stone, so there we are.

I'm just casually sitting on a beach digging like I'm 5 years old.

There's actually a toddler down there who's really-

I don't know, she's better behaved than I am right now.

I'm just kind of picking through the sand and enjoying myself.

[GUITAR MUSIC]

While we're in Aberdour I'll just show you something that,

if you've been listening to the Weird Funny Stories I Wrote As A Kid,

this is the inspiration for one of the stories.

If you've heard me talking about the story called "Brats"

which had Tash and Bex in and they were twins

they were going to live with the mum for the first time in a big house.

The big house is just over here! I'm just going to show you on the camera here.

I don't know the story behind this house

whether it's somebody's residence, whether it's an office block...

If anybody lives there just now, I have no idea.

But I used to see this view on the way past as we'd drive by Aberdour

and it just looked like the middle of nowhere.

And I wrote that story about it, I could see it pictured there

and whenever I imagined there being like a movie version,

that's the house I pictured.

So there we are, because right now we're in a village

and then that just looks like it's just the middle of nowhere.

Like if you didn't know there was a town around here you would think this was the countryside.

And that's what I really love about it.

Now this is an area of Aberdour I've never seen before,

it's the Aberdour Sensory Garden.

And I'm guessing it's for people to really like feel different things? I don't know.

I don't really know what constitutes a sensory garden.

I'm just reading about the history of this site.

And it used to be Aberdour Primary School years and years ago

like over 100 years ago and then in 1967 they built a new primary school,

I actually walked past it earlier. And this one got demolished in 1974

and the Village in Bloom, who do all the wonderful flowers around Aberdour

decided to modernize it

and I really like how it turned out, it's a beautiful beautiful area.

So I really think they've done a good job

and it's like really well looked after and things.

so I am pretty pleased for the result. I can't believe I've never been here before!

[GUITAR MUSIC]

I'm actually really pleasantly surprised by this.

I've walked past this place so many times

but I've never stopped to have a look

so I think this is definitely gonna be somewhere I come back to

whenever I'm visiting Aberdour because it's really really pretty.

And now that I've been there I feel like it's somewhere that shouldn't be missed.

I've just bumped into a lovely lady, that's her cycling away there.

And she caught me vlogging and wondered what I was up to.

So we've just had a bit of a chat about, you know, the whole channel and things.

The kind of industry as a YouTube creator.

Cause she said there as well and I think it's a popular misconception

That YouTubers make a lot of money.

And you know like YouTubers can make a lot of money,

but they don't make a lot of money just purely from their videos being on YouTube.

You really need to have a following, you need to have merchandise and things,

get paid for appearances and everything like that.

And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that

but when somebody says "Don't you make loads of money from that?"

I do feel like I need to correct myself there.

I'm heading home now, we're just going along the same path.

I don't think I'm going to go via Braefoot Bay again.

It was a nice enough path

but I feel like the real nostalgia comes from the path that I used to walk along.

And this time we haven't got the big steep hill to go up as well

so it's all good, it's all good.

I've been thinking a bit more about what that lady said to me

back at the bottom of the hill there. We were talking about YouTube

and I said "I've just walked from Dalgety Bay to Aberdour"

"and I filmed the whole thing" and she said "You're putting us on the map then."

And I don't think really one videos gonna put them on the map.

Obviously you know I've not really got that big a following

but it did make me think. If we're gonna put Aberdour on the map,

just over there is Edinburgh.

You could totally come to Aberdour on a day trip if you were in Edinburgh.

It's like an hour on the train

and you can see all of this for yourself.

So yes if you're ever visiting Edinburgh

and you want to see one of the hidden gems of Fife,

I definitely say come on a day trip to Aberdour.

Or even Dalgety Bay, you can go along this lovely coastal walk.

It's always here, all year round.

Although to be honest I'd probably only do it in the summer.

It's totally somewhere that you could go

that is little bit different from everywhere in Edinburgh.

When I get to the end of this path

I'll probably start to get all camera shy about vlogging again and things.

Because this is starting to be Dalgety Bay again

and I'll probably see more dog walkers and things again.

Like everybody's pretty much gonna come back.

I really need to be less embarrassed

and less apologetic when people catch me vlogging.

You'd think after 3 years that would be

something that would come a bit more naturally but not really, not really.

Okay and for those of you who are following along

I'm pretty much back at where I turned to go off to Braefoot Bay

instead of carrying on along that big road there.

So that's a lot of fun, I really enjoy that walk

and I am glad I came out today, I'm genuinely glad.

Like I would have just sat at home and not really done anything.

So I'm back at the Kirk again

and the sun is starting to go down...I think.

Like I said I'm not very good at figuring out these things

but certainly it's in my face more, it's got kind of a red-y vibe to it

so I'd say that's the sun going down.

So I think I'm going to end it here for today guys.

Thank you very much for joining me on this adventure, this local adventure.

And I hope you enjoyed it.

If you did enjoy it and you haven't seen the other version of this video

then I'm gonna link it down below so you can check that out as well

When is a High Body Temperature Considered Serious? - Duration: 8:45.

When is a High Body Temperature Considered Serious?

The normal temperature range for the human body is between 97.6 and 1000ºF. Exceeding 100ºF is considered high body temperature.

To maintain a healthy temperature, it's important to be able to adapt to your environmental surroundings.

When your body's ability to deal with heat is lost, however, your body temperature may rise.

When you have a high body temperature, it causes your blood vessels to dilate.

 Thus, it transports excess heat to the surface of your skin.

This causes you to sweat in order to evaporate water and cool you.

However, when your body is exposed to cold temperatures your blood vessels contract.

Your blood flow is reduced and your muscles may begin to tremble in order to generate heat.

Your temperature is therefore regulated through three mechanisms:.

Thermo-receptors: these are found in your skin and at the center of your hypothalamus.

Thermoregulatory effects: sweating and increased blood flow.

Control from your brain.

How do you know if you have a fever?.

Your temperature is considered high when it exceeds 100ºF, but you'll also experience other symptoms.

It can be urgent.

Overall, some of the signs that indicate that your body temperature is higher than it should be include the following:.

The temperature measured in your mouth is higher than 100ºF, In the rectum or ear it is higher than 101ºF, Under your arm, the temperature is higher than 99ºF.

Signs and symptoms

Body temperature greater than 100ºF, Rapid heart rate, Shaking and chills, Sweating, Muscle pain, Lack of appetite, Rapid breathing, Vertigo, Malaise.

Risk factors

Infection: this immune system response indicates that a foreign substance is attacking your body.

Medications: antibiotics, narcotics, or antihistamines can cause a fever because these substances raise your body temperature.

Injuries: suffering from some kind of trauma can trigger a fever.

It can develop from a heart attack, stroke, burn, or heat stroke.

Other diseases can also raise the body temperature, such as arthritis, hyperthyroidism, and even cancer.

Meanwhile, a high temperature that's lower than 100ºF could be due to milder causes like stress, hormonal fluctuations, too much exercise, or a high outdoor temperature.

What is hyperthermia?.

This occurs when your body's thermoregulators cannot keep up with the production of heat.

Then, your body temperature rises well above the normal range.

When your temperature is higher than 104ºF, it's considered hyperthermia.

Some of the main symptoms are:.

Bleeding, A dark color in your urine, Muscle pain, Fainting, Disorientation.

Causes include:.

A stroke, Tumors, Encephalitis, Internal bleeding.

Complications

When you don't treat hyperthermia in time, it's possible that the temperature will continue to increase.

This can be dangerous, causing your thermoregulators to fail.

It's essential to lower your body temperature immediately before you experience something like a seizure.

Treatment

Overall, treatment must be instant.

Aggressive cooling measures should be combined with hyperventilation using 100% oxygen.

Cool the skin with hypothermia blankets.

Immerse the patient in ice water.

Use fans.

If the above measures fail, hemodialysis can be performed to remove toxins from the bloodstream.

How to prevent it?.

First of all, avoid prolonged sun exposure, especially if you'll be engaging in physical activity.

Next, wear sunscreen to protect your skin from burns, which slows the dissipation of heat.

In addition, be sure to drink at least two liters of water a day to stay hydrated.

If you're exercising and you sense that your temperature is increasing, or you feel a sensation of humidity, stop immediately.

In addition, reduce your consumption of alcoholic beverages because they worsen dehydration.

During warm weather, wear light clothing and bright colors.

Finally, don't forget to ventilate your home and consume plenty of electrolytes.

Finally, it's very important that you understand the difference between a fever and hyperthermia.

In addition to a very high body temperature, with hyperthermia you are not able to reduce your temperature yourself.

Waste no time in going to a doctor, especially in the case of children or the elderly.
