Chills is yet another sign that you may have a blood infection. Chills happen when the muscles in the body are attempting to make heat by constant squeezing and relaxing, causing you to shake involuntarily. Although chills can be a normal occurrence when you are feeling cold or even afraid, it can also be one of your immune system’s responses to an infection within the body in an attempt to fight off an illness or sickness. Oftentimes, chills are a response to a blood infection since the changes to one’s blood circulation causes lowered body temperature. While chills can occur for a number of different medical conditions, septicemia is one that can turn serious if left untreated.
