Cause #9: Drug Use
Many drugs, both legal and illegal, are known to contribute to fever. Stimulants are especially well-known for this. Drugs like amphetamines and cocaine are known to stimulate the central nervous system and can raise the body’s internal temperature.
It’s also possible to develop a fever while withdrawing from drugs like opioids. This often involves a number of other symptoms like shivering, shaking, nausea, and vomiting.
