A Thermometer Can Tell You Your Body Temperature

Galileo Galilei invented the first medical thermometer in between 1592 and 1593. Since then, there have been major improvements to the device. A thermometer is inserted into the mouth, armpit, or ear to measure the temperature of your body. Your temperature should read between ninety-eight, and ninety-nine degrees Fahrenheit, below can indicate hypothermia, and above 100.4 indicates a fever. If you do not have a thermometer to add to your kit, you can always check someone’s temperature by gently putting the back of your hand against their forehead. Keep in mind, that there will be no accurate reading or measurement, and you will need to use your best judgment.
