What is the highest recorded human body temperature?!


Question: I had a temp of 40.8 C in a recent trip to hospital.the nurse taking the measurement said it was the highest she'd ever seen - have I got a (unwanted!) record?! And, incidentally, does anyone know at what temp the body really starts having "problems"?!
Answers:
I've been a nurse for 18 years and have taken thousands and thousands of temperatures.

Your temp 40.8C is 105.4F. The highest one I ever took was 105.2. The body can start having seizures around 105. I hope you're feeling better now. Keep resting and drinking a lot of fluids.

Other Answers:
I think 42 C , is the max temp may human reach , then die!
42

i heard that it is 42 C, then your brain cells die or something like that
