Ya, my tank is between 83-86 degrees (I have to build a new hood so that my new superstrong light isn't so close to the water), but it hasn't caused anything to die.

would wait one month for the ick to die with no fish in there of corse

I also belive that with a fast rise in the temp and not enough surface agitation could build up way to much co2 and caused the fish to die
