I'm surprised you don't have a hot tub running inside an air conditioned house.

Might be time for me to get a refresher on the mechanism - regardless I'm fairly sure I will stand behind "warmer is better" and don't treat mild fevers with antipyretics. Parents of young children like to laugh at that last part - apparently children's Tylenol etc. makes them less cranky.
