Humans are approximately made of water, with a heat capacity of 4.2j/ml degC, density of 1g/ml

So a 70kg (155 pound) human would heat up by about 1 degree every 15 seconds, or 1 degree F every 8 seconds. This would kill you in something between immediately and a matter of minutes, depending on how it is applied.
