Can heat kill you?

Answer:
Yes, heat can kill you. The body has an ideal temperature that its enzymes and major body organs work at, which is around 37 degrees Celsius. if this is exceeded, then what happens is the enzymes in your body work less efficiently, meaning less respiration will happen. this will make you feel drowsy at first, lethargic as time goes by. if internal body temperature goes up to around forty to forty one degrees Celsius, then the enzymes denature, and do not work at all. this means no respiration will be happening, and the body will just shut down due to a lack of energy.
