When I was a kid, 37C was a fever. And it felt like a fever too. I've never had 37C body temperature without feeling that there was absolutely something wrong with my body. If Europeans and Americans genuinely don't consider 37C a feverish temperature....I'm surprised.

North European here. I was always taught that 37 was the normal, healthy temperature, both in textbooks and by my parents. Anything over 37.5 was a fever, anything below 37 was also a sign of sickness.

Temperature also varies by individual. For my family, for example, it's not unusual to have a temperature of around 99.3-99.6ºF as the baseline body temperature.

So, if I'm a 'common 37ºC' that's hot in Japan?... :O

I was taught in university that normothermia ranges between 36,5°C and 37,5°C measured on the armpits. It varies depending on the place of the body you measure it: rectal temperature ranges a bit higher, for example.

^ WTH!! 'rectal temperature' in humans... For real?! xD

True, Alice. My general body temperature is closer to 36°C (about 97°F or so) even though I'm a North American with Scandinavian and German heritage. My partner generally has something in the higher 37°C range (mid 99°F like you Alice).

Anyway, some Japanese researchers have tried to scientifically study the difference in thermoregulation between ethnic groups.

There is one study that suggests that while on a walk, Japanese people heat up quicker than Europeans, however it has small sample size and poor control, so should be discounted. (Thermoregulatory responses to heat and exercise in Japanese and Caucasians K. Ohara, N. Okuda and S. Takaba, International Journal of Biometeorology, Volume 19, Number 2 (1975), 99-107, DOI: 10.1007/BF01463865)

There's another one comparing Japanese people to native islanders from Oceania that found just more likelihood different parts of the body varied in temperature but was inconclusive. (Joo-Young Lee, Hitoshi Wakabayashi, Titis Wijayanto, Nobuko Hashiguchi, Mohamed Saat and Yutaka Tochihara Ethnic differences in thermoregulatory responses during resting, passive and active heating: application of Werner’s adaptation model European Journal of Applied Physiology, Volume 111, Number 12 (2011), 2895-2905, DOI: 10.1007/s00421-011-1912-5)

In Vietnam 37ºC is normal.

In best Korea there is no illness our great leader has removed all of them from the air and if we manage to catch one we are ment to die anyway.

In Brazil 37°C is also normal. I didn't know there was a difference between countries.

FINALLY someone translated this! Saw this comic floating around but couldn't figure out what they were talking about. I just knew it was Akko doing something unintentionally charming and Diana getting embarrassed about it lol

I also live in Brazil and 37 ºC is the beginning of a fever for me.

I'm in Thailand, and our normal temperature is around 36.5 C. 37 C is known as having a slight fever, at least from where I grew up..

^In the UK we seem to also go for the pretty precise 36.5 being normal. And it being up to 37 a slight fever too. I remember last time I had a fever I felt really hot but it was only reading 37.1

I assume there are minor differences in average temps in different races / nations, and individuals though.

37 C is already a slight fever when it comes to my family. It could be that our bodies try to cope with the environment's temperatures. It's usually pretty hot in the Philippines, so our bodies could be mostly thinking of cool thoughts to prevent overheating. :P

And AsukaEnergetic, you don't get sick often huh? O.o

Oddly enough, this comic could have been titled "how do you tell if someone is gay, or European." Just as easily.

The TL note mentioned the belief came from the temperature difference between north America and Japan. What does that have to do with Europeans? Do they mean that it originated from Japan researchers studying American body temperatures, and that had them speculate Europeans were similar in temperature?
