Why we feel cold during fever,even body temperature is high?

Why does 98 degree weather feel so uncomfortable if body temperature is 98.6?

• I understand that our bodies are acclimatized to average temperatures, which (in most parts of the world, at least) are much lower than 98 degrees F, but I don't understand why our bodies have such a difficult time coping when it's this hot. It was 98 degrees yesterday here in the Washington DC area, and we didn't turn on the AC at home. I'm sure it was a little cooler inside the house because we shut all the blinds and stuff, but I was still sweating like a pig. Wouldn't my body feel right at home in 98 degree weather? Why does it feel so hot? I would think it would be easy for the body to maintain an equilibrium of 98.6 degrees in such an environment, easier than heating up the body in 72 degree weather.

• Answer:

  because our bodies will uncontollably generate heat by say moving muscles being nervous that kind of thing and its probably because we have adapted to the average temp of 15-20 (that in brit) for example somone from africa visiting england will wrap up like me going to one of the poles so yer its just a human adaption... besides ud be freezing if ur body was ajusted to not heating itself because it was always 98f n then one day it was like 0 f :P
