My Hyperthermia test

My hyperthermia test is over and I have failed.

We used a queen sized electric blanket. I laid on one half and the other half was draped over me. Then blankets were piled on as the electric blanket was turned on high. I felt like I was in a giant Panini sandwich press.

After more that two hours of heating, I gave it up. I measured my temperature using an oral thermometer and never raised my temperature more than half a degree F, if that. I also recorded my blood pressure every half hour. It stayed normal all the time.

I don’t know where my body got the coolness to keep my body temperature normal.
