I'm going to be lazy with this one and just copy and paste the text that's on the project's Bandcamp page.

Such reaction normally happens as a result of an infection or trauma. The brain is not regulating the rise in temperature the way it does with other fevers and the body cannot handle the heat from environmental causes, and overheats. Check it out:
