You Might Be Surprised When You Take Your Temperature

"What's your temperature?"

"That's the question of the hour. The Ebola virus has made taking your temperature part of everyday conversation. People in West Africa are doing it. People returning from the region are doing it. And so are the overly paranoid in the United States."

"For anyone who's been exposed to the virus, a body temperatures of 100.4 or higher has been deemed the point of concern. The goal, of course, is that magic number: 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit."

"Except 98.6 degrees isn't so magical after all. In fact, that might not be your normal temperature."
