I'm not being facetious, I just can't see why anyone would check their temp everyday.
I am now 40+ and I can count on 1 hand the number of times I have had to check my temperature in my life.
FFs, you know if you have a fever. You don't need a thermometer.
If I feel a bit hot I usually just get my wife to kiss my forehead. She normally tells me I am being a pussy.

That's not entirely true ... two summers ago it was hot as hell that entire week. We were outside doing bigtime landscaping all day long in the sun.
Had a few cold ones with the guys after work..
Once I got home, I was BSn around doing my laundry / I was up and down the steps doing this and that.. feeling a litte rough around the edges I took my temp with a digital thermometer and it read 105. I figured the battery in the thermometer was bad so I thought whatever. I wasn't sweating, didn't have the chills or anything. I felt fine considering working my ass off.
She said try taking your temp with this thermometer (it was one of those old glass ones), that one read 105 too.
Went to the hospital and they said I had heat stoke with severe dehydration. I felt fine minus the 105 degree temp.
They pumped me with 2 IVs in the emerg as I laid there for five hours.. my temp dropped and they sent me home.
So no.. you can have a serious fever and not even know it.
