thanks for your thoughts.
milk used to be my favourite drink. it has never been associated with overheating unless it was warm...
i could possibly be allergic to milk (the possibility is there, just never tested), but those would be much more likely to be gastrointestinal rather than have an immediate effect on my body temp, right?
inert viral DNA sounds interesting, maybe i'll look it up
i think most people would get physically hot, then slowly physically cool down, or whatever. in contrast, when i get physically hot (doesn't have to be a large amount - like that warm drink), one of the first things that happens is that panic kicks in, sending waves of sweat and hyperventilating etc. this increases my heart rate, which would probably make me feel hotter, meaning more panic, meaning feel even hotter, etc into overload - i don't seem to have that chance to naturally cool down.
or if i do, my body doesn't kick into cooldown mode very quickly.
disease - well, i am supposed to have a high functioning form of autism. does that count as a disease? that's where my other hypersensitivity comes in. at the moment hypersensitivity to heat is my only explanation.
i just never heard of heat hypersensitivity before.
