Although hyperthermia is a recognized animal teratogen and maternal fever has been associated with birth defects in humans, data on the relationship between high environmental temperatures and birth defects are limited. To determine whether pregnancies are potentially vulnerable to the weather extremes anticipated with climate change, the researchers evaluated the relationship between extreme summer temperature and the occurrence of birth defects.
