Temperature higher than 42 (e.g. 43) is described on Wikipedia[1] as:

> Normally death, or there may be serious brain damage, continuous convulsions and shock. Cardio-respiratory collapse will likely occur.

It seems that that's a little bit late to consider calling the hospital?

42C is 107F, it is way too high it seems.
Thanks for querying this. I raised it with the team and their response is up above.
