Inflammation and body temp

Interesting finding, perhaps why more IBD in Canada, and less incidence near the equator.
Anyone run low body temp, how about less flares in the summer.
Not sure I understand everything, might even have it backwards.

I haven't read it yet (long)....but my norm temp is 96.7. If I'm 98.6, i have a fever and can definitely feel it. I wonder how temp changes throughout the day.....something I might find in the article.

Thanks...looking forward to reading it.

I am usually around 96.7F body temp as well. I'm also from Canada. Interesting theory but I'm going to leave the A/C on for now. smile
