The maximum body temperature a human can survive is 108.14°F. At higher temperatures the body turns into scrambled eggs: proteins are denatured and the brain gets damaged irreparably. Cold water draws out body heat.

Does a fan make a room colder?

Myth: Fans Keep a Room Cool

Fans don't make a room any cooler, they merely make you feel cooler. By moving air over your skin, a fan can lower your body temperature, but will do nothing for the heat inside a room. So if you're not in the room, you're just wasting energy by leaving the fan on.

How do you make a cross breeze?

To establish cross breezes, don't think in just two dimensions. A fan in the door will move air, and another in the window will do the same—but if you set them up strategically, the door fan can blow cool air onto you while the window fan pulls hot air away. Spend a little time designing a “fan network” in your house.
