Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes are heat and ph sensitive it cannot work at very high temperature or very low temperature. If the temperature of a body raises due to high fever, enzymes denature and not function properly which is dangerous to living body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fever is normally a beneficial immune process since increased body temperature can kill off bacteria and viruses and denature bacterial enzymes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Temperature: Enzymes work best when your body temperature is normal, about 98.6°F (37°C). As temperature increases, enzyme reactions increase. But if the temperature gets too high, the enzyme stops working. That’s why a high fever can disrupt bodily functions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fever elevates the temperature of the body increasing the rate of enzyme reactions, and speeding up metabolism within the body.
