How does a fever work?!?

🌡️ How Inflammation Triggers a Fever
When your body detects infection or injury, immune cells release pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α.

🧠 These travel to the hypothalamus, your body’s thermostat, and stimulate production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2).

🔥 PGE2 raises the hypothalamic set point, telling your body to generate and conserve heat — leading to shivering, vasoconstriction, and ultimately… fever.

✅ Fever helps slow pathogen replication and boosts immune activity.
