While we mostly associate temperature measurement with children (and indeed, they are usually, quite rightly, the main focus for this), it’s also important that we keep a check on our own temperature when we’re feeling a little under the weather.  It’s a good idea to have an accurate temperature monitor in the house for use by all the family.

Fever is one of the most important indicators of our state of health. The normal adult human body temperature is classified as 98.6° Fahrenheit or 37° Centigrade.  Other than illness, body temperature can vary due to a number of factors, for example the time of day – lower in the morning (after rest), higher in the evening (food, exercise and general daytime activities).

Very low body temperatures at 33°C and lower can result in loss of consciousness and even, at its most extreme, muscle failure.  Very high body temperatures at 42° C and above can see the central nervous system break down completely.  So, understanding temperature monitoring is extremely important.
