Select all that apply Select all of the ways that fever helps fight infection. Iron becomes toxic to bacteria at higher temperatures. Higher temperature directly inhibits some bacteria and viruses. Iron levels are decreased in the blood. Phagocytes are more active at high temperatures. Histamine release is slowed by high temperature.

Fever a. is a higher-than-normal body temperature that is always dangerous. b. decreases the metabolic rate of the body to conserve energy. c. results from the actions of chemicals that reset the body's thermostat to a higher setting. d. causes the liver to release large amounts of iron, which seems to inhibit bacterial replication.
