Reply To: Why is Yad Soledes Bo so Cold?

“a body temperature of 110 degrees means you are about to die.”
That has nothing to do with what we’re talking about. Running a fever of 110 and dipping your hand in 110 degree water are two very different things.

“I think it is more sensitive,”
How is this determined? Wouldn’t the gemara imply that scalding a baby and reflexively retracting a hand occur at the same temperature? Either way, the baby thing doesn’t really change my kasheh. I firmly do not believe 110 Fahrenheit would scald anything. It really isn’t that hot.
