\celsius is an ordinary (La)TeX command, and you will find the same
effect with other text-producing commands. You have to add the space
manually, e.g., 37\celsius\ and..., or say 37{\celsius} and ... The
command's definition cannot solve this, because you will also want to
use it in places where no space is allowed, e.g., when a punctuation
symbol follows it: 37\celsius, and ... or in formulas, etc.
BTW, this does not happen with \% because this a one-character
command, which is treated differently by TeX... If you write 5\%CO you
will get rid of the space.
Hope this helps...
