(I don't have a fever but...) I was reading an article on ways to check if you have a fever without a thermometer

Posted by ty97 Mar 21 '20, 18:14

just out of curious because thermometers are more scarce than toilet paper nowadays.

I know I don't have a fever, just planning for if I ever feel that I might have one.

Anyway, one of the recommendations was.....have someone bring you a thermometer

Brilliant.

  - I think our insta read meat'o'meter is more accurate than our suck on it for a minute one (which says i'm 96.8) -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 21, 20:14
I got a forehead one. It seems inaccurate. It beeps as done the second I push the button, but my temp is usually usually below normal. If I hold it - jnine Mar 21, 18:22

I get a very distinct headache when I have a fever. Almost never fails that I know I have one before I take my temp -- nm - Bacon Mar 21, 18:20
Well, that's frankly more sensible than my solution. Which involved inserting your finger... well, you know where this is going. -- nm - Mop Mar 21, 18:18 2
- The problem with this method is you have to know what it feels like when you *don't* have a fever, first. So, everyone take a second right now... -- nm - Mop Mar 21, 18:25
