Something this simple will still take 20 years to get to stroke hospitals. No hurry you know, if you were in such poor physical shape you had a stroke, you can get better the old-fashioned way.

Dutch researchers have tested the effect of acetoaminophen, a well-known
fever-reducing drug, on 75 patients with ischaemic stroke – that is,
one caused by a blood clot in the vessel serving the brain. The patients
had a temperature ranging between 36 and 39 degrees Celsius, so not all
of them had a fever. Half of them received acetoaminophen and half a
placebo for five days. The first group had temperatures 0.4 degrees
lower than the placebo group after 24 hours. But after five days, there
was no difference in temperature between the two.
It may sound like only a small drop, but it’s reckoned that each one
degree rise in temperature is linked to a two-fold increase in the death
risk from stroke.
I dislike this site because it never provides research links.
