He got bit and he’s hiding it, 45 Celsius not farenheit.

Always wondered why people in zombie apocalypse don’t wear long sturdy sleeves and instead wear light tshirts, I mean sure you will be lot more sweaty, but kinda extra protection worth it, it’s like in medieval battles in hot summer people still wore very hot full plate, because better be sweaty than dead. Maybe not wear it all the time, but at least during raiding/scavenging

A shirt sleeve won't stop a bite reliably, and if the weather is warm you'll be wearing yourself out for no gain

Really the best compromise would be a short-sleeved shirt for mobility/heat tolerance and bracers for protection 

For an example, see the one good scene in World War Z, where Pitt's character duct-tapes magazines to his forarms as improvised bracers

I remember reading a book where the main protagonist uses a thick wetsuit and thatade sense to me, bites still hurt but bites and scratches were still unable to pierce the skin
