10 Blood Infection Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #2: Chills
Chills are another common symptom that most of us are likely to have experienced at least once in our lives. They make us feel cold, even when we are not, leaving us shivering and wanting to get back under the blankets. Chills go hand in hand with fevers because they are both part of the same mechanism.
In order to raise your body’s temperature to create a fever, your body will adjust its internal thermostat. This causes us to feel cold, causing the body to raise its temperature. Chills are also another common symptom of a blood infection. While chills in themselves are not dangerous, they can be a sign that something is seriously wrong.
