If I have a body temperature of 70 degrees, can that theoretically kill all viruses?

If I have a body temperature of 70 degrees, can that theoretically kill all viruses?

If you have a temperature of 70 degrees, then you shouldn't have to be afraid that you have a virus on you, right? The theory is that people closer to you worry for you.

As far as I know, 70 degrees can not kill all viruses, because there are several types of viruses, besides, it is a miracle that your body temperature can reach 70 degrees and you are still conscious.

But 70 degrees is generally said to kill most viruses, which you can rest assured.


Yes, if the human body temperature reaches 70 degrees Celsius, it can kill all known viruses that can infect humans! But the problem is, it's impossible for human body temperature to reach 70 degrees!

The vast majority of viruses are cold and heat resistant!

One of the great characteristics of viruses is that they are resistant to cold but not heat, and it has been found that most viruses can remain infectious for a long time in environments below 0°C, especially at dry ice temperatures (-70°C) and liquid nitrogen temperatures (-196°C). And most viruses are inactivated in only 30 minutes in 50°C to 60°C environments because the virus' protein shells simply can't carry that temperature. Like the Neocoronavirus that is ravaging the world this time, 56°C for 20-30 minutes will inactivate the Neocoronavirus! Therefore, if your body temperature reaches 70 degrees, the virus can't help you at all!

It is not possible for the human body to reach a temperature of 70°C!

Of course, the hypothesis of the questioner is impossible to realize. Man is a thermostatic animal, only body temperature is maintained in a very narrow range, the body can function normally. Generally speaking, the sublingual temperature of the human mouth is 36.3-37.2℃, the rectal temperature is 36.5-37.7℃, and the axillary temperature is 36.0-37.0℃.

When the human body has some diseases will also appear body temperature fluctuations, caused by colds and other diseases caused by fever is the human body's body immune system and viruses fighting caused by a high fever on the human body itself is also a kind of harm! In addition to the summer long time in the hot environment caused by the human body thermoregulatory dysfunction caused by pyrexia (that is, we commonly known as heat stroke) will also lead to an increase in body temperature, but this is very dangerous, and even life-threatening! Therefore, it is impossible for the human body temperature to reach 70℃!

Yes, no problem. The key question is how you got your temperature to 70. Was it steamed or braised or boiled? Lab water bath heating?

If it was the sun, it would kill the virus, it's a human being, body temperature 70 degrees is already in the next stage, it just went into the oven being burned.

One, the purpose of killing the virus is so that human life is not harmed. at 70 degrees, your life is long dead, so what's the point of killing the virus?

Two, of course, you are afraid of infecting others with the virus and letting your self give up your life, that's fine. Academician Zhong Nanshan said that over 50 degrees will kill the virus.

Three, but there's a problem. How do you get your body temperature up to 70 degrees automatically? If you use any other method, it is against human nature and human decency, and it is against the laws and regulations.

Can't. Your guts are responsible for detoxifying your body. So as long as you exist, you're toxic. Poison is also adapted to the environment. [laughs and cries]

Forget the virus for a moment, it's all about how well you can hold up!

That's a good one, just heat yourself up to 70 degrees and try it, buy a bigger pan, the kind you use to boil a pig.

This is a particularly good question and the reality is that your idea is practiced all the time. People pushed out of crematoriums are usually undetectable for any virus

The bacteria don't all have to die, but you will! Half cooked at 70 degrees, it will soon turn into stinky meat!
