Sixelelwe bonke ubomi bethu ukuba iqondo lobushushu bomzimba womntu lingama-98.6 degrees. Elinye lala manani agxunyekwe nje ezingqondweni zethu. Ngokukodwa ngoku, xa sihlala siphaphile malunga nefiva, ukwazi ukuba yinto eqhelekileyo kubalulekile ukwazi ukuba yintoni ephezulu.
Uninzi lwethu, i-98.6 khange ibonakale ilungile. Ndiza kuzisebenzisa njengomzekelo. Ngethuba nje ndithatha ubushushu bam, ixhonywe phakathi kwe-96.8 ukuya kwi-97.2. Ndijika ukuba andinguye u-weirdo (ngaloo ndlela, ubuncinci) kwaye ukuba iqondo lobushushu lomzimba womntu aliseyiyo i-98.6 degrees.
Ngoku ka Ixesha leSeattle , iqondo lobushushu lomzimba womntu linokuba kufutshane ne-97.8, okanye nangaphantsi ukuxhomekeka ekubeni wazalwa nini. Xa ucinga ngaloo nto iyavakala, kwaye kubalulekile ukuba ukhumbule ukuba eli nani lisese-avareji, hayi iqondo lobushushu esiya kuba nalo sonke ngamaxesha onke.
Ewe kunjalo, kusengqiqweni ukuba asisayi kuba nobushushu bomzimba obufanayo sonke kwaye sinokwahluka ngempilo, ubudala, isini, kunye nezinye izinto. Abasetyhini abaninzi abalandele ubushushu bomzimba wabo ukuzama ukukhulelwa baya kukuxelela ukuba inokutshintsha ngokuxhomekeka ekubeni ukuphi kumjikelo wakho, umzekelo.
Iyavakala loo nto, kodwa eyona nto iphazamisayo kwizazinzulu kukuba iqondo lobushushu lomzimba lihlile ngokuhamba kwexesha, ukusuka kuma-98.6 ukuya kuma-97.8 okanye ngaphantsi kuxhomekeke kunyaka wokuzalwa. Olunye lolo ukwehla lunokuhambelana nalapho i-98.6 inombolo yavela khona kwasekuqaleni.
Sinenani elingombulelo kugqirha waseJamani ogama lingu UCarl Reinhold u-Agasti Wunderlich . Waqhuba isifundo ngo-1851 eseta inani kwi-98.6. Olunye uphononongo lukhona ukusukela ngelo xesha, olufana nolo abaphandi banamhlanje babelisebenzisa ukuthelekisa namaqondo obushushu anje ngomzimba, okwenziwa kwiimfazwe zezilwanyana.
Zininzi izizathu zokuba abantu kwinkulungwane ye-19 babe namaqondo obushushu aphezulu emzimbeni kunokuba kunjalo ngoku. Babengenalo ucoceko, ukhathalelo lwempilo okanye imigangatho yokuphila esinayo, nto leyo ethetha ukuba imizimba yabo isenokuba ifudumele ekulweni nosulelo olukumgangatho ophantsi, ngakumbi emazinyweni abo. Kwaye kule mihla sihleli ngaphezulu, kodwa sikwabade…
Eyona nto iphazamisayo kwizazinzulu nangona ingekuko ukuba iqondo lobushushu lomzimba liye lehla ukusukela ngeminyaka yoo-1850, kukuba yehlile ukusukela kwiminyaka yoo-1970. Kunzima kakhulu ukuchaza. Nokuba lutshintsho lwemozulu okanye umlinganiso ongaphezulu uthoba umndilili, amaqondo aphezulu okutyeba okanye amayeza, oogqirha abaqinisekanga.
Kodwa into esinokuqiniseka ngayo kukuba u-98.6 akaselilo inani esicinga ukuba liza kuba kwi-thermometer. Ikwenza umahluko ukuba leliphi inani eliphezulu kuwe. Kodwa ke ukhona umahluko phakathi kokuziva ungonwabanga kuba ubushushu bomzimba wakho buphezulu kunesiqhelo kwaye unoko kuthathwa njengomkhuhlane kwezonyango. Umntu akajongwa njengonayo umkhuhlane obonakalayo de ubushushu babo bube ngaphezulu kwe-100.4 .
Okwangoku, licebo elilungileyo ukuthatha ubushushu bakho xa uziva usempilweni ukuze wazi ukuba kukho umahluko xa uwuthatha xa uziva ugula. Kungenxa yokuba u-98.6 usenokuba wayeqhelekile ngo-1851, kodwa isenokungabi yinto eqhelekileyo kuwe.
