   What temperature was Fahrenheit?

   • Instead, Fahrenheit chose 96°F as the temperature of the human body and 0°F as the freezing point for a solution made of water, salt and ice. The top end of the scale was later revised to 98.6°F. Fahrenheit passed away on September 16, 1736 at the age of 50 from what was believed to be mercury poisoning.
