I had a 105 once when I had strep throat for the first time. I thought it was just the simple flu and ignored it, but when I started getting dizzy and a bit delirious, I had to go to the emergency room.

I've had two 105 temps, one from a severe flu when I was really little (I have vague memories of being carried into the ER by my panicked dad) and once in college when I had mono. Unfun :(
About 105 F. I was hallucinating rather heavily and doing really weird things for several hours. I can still remember exactly what it felt like to be completely out of touch with reality, and it's an experience I don't care to repeat.

When your body gets hot (usually around 104) the hydrogen bonds in your enzymes break down thus rendering them useless and it shuts down the metabolic process. So that is in addition to the fact it can "burn" neurons which do not go through mitosis and thus if damaged stay damaged. So yes, its bad if not treated quickly.

I know I've had 104F fever at least twice. Once was when I was 13, and the other was in March of this year. This time it really screwed me up for about a week, since I still had to take exams while being sick.
