    Normal body temperature can vary up to 2°F in a 24 hour period. According to the Guinness Book of World Records (New York: Bantam books, 2000, p. 263), the person with the highest body temperature who lived to tell about it is Willie Jones. On July 10, 1980, Mr. Jones was admitted to the hospital with heatstroke. His temperature was 115.7°F (46.5°C). After 24 days in the hospital, he was discharged. Body temperatures of 109°F can be fatal.  (Statistic from Prevention’s Giant Book of Health Facts, 1991.)

    The services that it’s removing me from know so much more though. My family members, all my past addresses, the people that I lived with at each address.

    It’s a bummer that this kind of thing has to exist at all, and you have to give up more personal info, but it’s definitely a net positive for your privacy.
