Would fevers run higher or lower if water's specific heat were not so high?
 
  A) With a lower specific heat, water would require a higher energy input to change its temperature. Our fevers, therefore, would run at a lower temperature.
  B) With a lower specific heat, water would gain a higher temperature for the same amount of energy input. Our fevers, therefore, would run at a higher temperature.
  C) A lower specific heat would not effect its ability to change waters temperature, so it would not have an effect on our fevers.
  D) With a lower specific heat, our bodies would evaporate (sweat) twice as much water, therefore our fevers would be lower.

The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
