This is not true. While a 104 fever likely indicates a severe illness or infection the body can safely have a fever in the 104 to 106 range. It’s around 108 that brain damage becomes a concern and that is usually also due to environmental factors like a kid being left in a hot car.
To my knowledge, proteins can start to denature at 104F, depending on the protein and other factors like pH. Around 106F, proteins in the brain will start to denature, regardless of other factors.
Also, at a high enough level (104 F), the proteins in your brain start to denature, which leads to death.
