I can say that this was a particularly violent episode - we got whizzed to the front of the queue in A&E, on a Saturday night no less, as they seemed worried about my kidney function due to lack of fluids.

Not to mention that if it’s hot on the outside doesn’t mean it’s hot on the inside. Only takes a little bit beneath temperature for bacteria to survive I guess.
