You neglected to study for the exam today or get ready for that important presentation, and now you have to act sick to get out of it (and fast). Don't worry; we'll show you step-by-step how to easily inflict a fake fever on yourself. Learn how to inflate your temperature on a thermometer, give yourself a feverish flush, and play up your "symptoms" so you appear to be sick in the following paragraphs.

For a simple remedy, run the thermometer under hot water. It could be necessary to fabricate a thermometer reading in order to convince someone that you are feverish. Using hot water is one approach to raise the reading on a thermometer. Put the tip under a warm water faucet and keep it there until the water reaches a temperature of more than 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit (38.1 degrees Celsius).

Keep the temperature below 102 degrees Fahrenheit (39 degrees Celsius) to avoid getting caught lying or needlessly being sent to the hospital. If the latter is still a possibility, but if the temperature increases over 107,

To boost the reading on a mercury thermometer, shake it. Holding the tip of a mercury thermometer while shaking it might raise the temperature. Nevertheless, if you are overly aggressive, it will heat up to an impossible level and you will be found out for lying. Furthermore, try not to shake the glass too violently.

A thermometer with a metal tip on one end is a mercury thermometer. The thermometer's glass body has printed numbers on it. To display the temperature, the mercury in the thermometer rises.

Shake it while holding it by the metal tip. Shake the thermometer back and forth while pointing the other end towards the ground to raise the temperature reading.

Rub the tip of a digital thermometer between your fingers to warm it up. Using one hand, keep the thermometer as motionless as you can. On the other hand, place the thermometer's tip between your thumb and index finger. To increase the temperature reading on the thermometer, quickly rub your thumb and finger together.

In most cases, a digital thermometer has a plastic frame, a metal tip, and a digital readout on the other end.

Have a warm beverage or meal before getting your temperature taken orally. If you are aware that someone will be observing you take your temperature, this method works brilliantly. Just before they take your temperature, eat something warm, such soup or tea. Before swallowing, keep a small amount of the food or liquid in your mouth for a few seconds. Wait for someone to observe you before taking your temperature, and then swallow fast.  You could even keep some of the heated liquid for dipping the thermometer into while taking the reading.
