Hyperpyrexia is high fever, hyperthermia is not. Fever is when your body resets it's internal thermostat, hyperpyrexia is when this occurs exaggeratedly. Hyperthermia is when external conditions overheat your body. GypsieSoul420 (formerly gypsie) 22:13, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

How about combining and merging Hyperpyrexia and Hyperthermia since both of these articles admit being one and the same. For some odd reason this phenomenon just seems to have two different names.
