How accurate are digital thermometers?
Check out the University of Michigan info page on thermometers linked below. According to a Consumer Reports study, digital thermometers were more accurate than glass thermometers. The study was conducted scientifically, and most of the other info I can find on the web supports the notion that the digital thermometers are in fact the most accurate. The University of Michigan Mott’s Chidlren’s Hospital link below, though, has a lot of other valuable information involving tips on taking temperature, so it is worth reading over. Hope this helps!
