No, in order to keep your body cool it has to have a lower temp to take the extra heat. Without that your body builds heat like a car with a clogged radiator, you put more people in it and it works harder and makes more heat and it builds-up. then you stop, Your body responds to overheat by causing you to Faint in hot weather. Thats why it's good to run through the sprinklers!

Right on Phil. I also think our natural oils and sweat cool our skin, which lowers its temperature.
-
Because your body is constantly generating heat, it must be able to radiate some of that heat away in order to maintain 98.6.
