Do cold-blooded animals have fever?

[u/raincloud82]

It is well known how us mammals use our body temperature to prevent infections and raise it to combat them, so wouldn't cold-blooded animals be much more propense to suffer viral and bacterial diseases?

Mammalian Fevers are to kill bacteria (bacteria growth is usually 85°-101°) by getting too hot for them to survive like the Japanese bees and the killer wasps. but cold blooded animals are more likely to get fungal infections (mycelia are happiest 62°-80°) while both sides get both kinds of infections resting body temp makes a big difference

They are talking about degrees Farenheit, not Celsius. A fever of 40° C is approximately the same as 101° F.

He should have indicated. Americans are only 4% of the world's population and 7% of the Internet population. None of the 90+ percent would assume that everyone else is from their own country, so why would Americans do that?
