Chills

When an individual is suffering from Septicemia, you will hear them complaining of feeling the extreme cold that causes chills. When chills occur, you find that muscles repeatedly contract and expand, causing the blood vessels to constrict. The chills also cause one to develop a fever and also shivering throughout the body. Chills caused by blood infection are extreme and reduces the supply of blood throughout the body organs. You find that the individual has to put on more clothes where it occurs in irregular patterns as the individual may experience extreme cold in one minute and the next high fever. [4]
