Chills
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
- This article is about the medical symptom. For the New zealand rock band, see The Chills.
Chills are a feeling of being cold. This is a symptom of many diseases, largely caused by the patient having an elevated temperature (37-43C) or (99-106F), and thus feeling everything else relatively cold.
Bloodborne chemical messengers, such as interleukins, may also contribute to the sensation.
