She'd be having hyperpyrexia...

The last is clearly a medical emergency because it approaches the upper limit compatible with human life.
Sounds like it could be possible? Read the link...

Above 105 the brain cells die. So it is highly unlikely. She may just be mistaken or forgot. What did you eat for lunch on this day when you were in 7th grade?
See site below for advice for teenage girls to see better things to do than try to prove someone is a liar. It is a crime to lie in court. This guy had the same answer for over 40 questions. It was "I do not recall." Humans make mistakes.

Body temperatures above 104 °F are life-threatening.
At 106 °F, brain death begins, and at 113°F death is nearly certain. Internal temperatures above 122°F will cause rigidity in the muscles and certain, immediate death.
