Lowering fever below 38.5 allegedly aids virus development in the body.
Infact verdict: Mostly False (31/100).
No external evidence was found to directly support or refute the claim that reducing fever below 38.5°C aids virus development. Fever is generally understood to be a natural response of the body to infection, potentially inhibiting virus replication. However, there is no consensus in the scientific community supporting the claim that lowering a fever at this specific threshold promotes virus proliferation. As such, this claim remains unverified.
