I'm a teacher, working on a research project in which my challenge is to identify non-toxic elements or chemical compounds that could increase body temperature in humans by up to 1 degree F over a prolonged period (e.g. 8 hours or more) without also increasing heart rate.
Thanks in advance for any ideas that you can share.
