10 Signs of Sepsis

Sepsis Sign #7: Chills
It is not uncommon for us to experience chills when we are ill. As with some other symptoms, they are a result of our body fighting to protect us from the disease. We may not like them but chills can be reassuring in that they let us know that our body is still fighting for us. This is not always the case, though.
In cases of sepsis, a person can feel cold because their body temperature plummets. This is different to the chills that are caused when the body wants to create a fever. This is a very serious sign and a clear indicator that the patient needs urgent medical assistance.
