Chills

As such, chills are linked to fevers, sometimes also shivering when our whole body can shiver with cold. Fever is a symptom or accompanying manifestation of other illnesses, commonly flu.

Flu viruses type A, B and C (influenza) spread throughout the human population. Type A flu causes explosive epidemics, Type B flu does not result in pandemics, occurring mainly in locally, slow-spreading epidemics, while Type C flu occurs only sporadically and causes mild symptoms, most commonly amongst children. The Type A virus is highly unstable, often mutating (possible combinations H1-H17 and N1-N9). 

The virus attacks the respiratory system, most commonly spread through droplets in the air produced by infected people breathing, coughing or sneezing, but also through infected hands touching the face. This makes flu highly transmissible.

Flu begins suddenly with fever, chills, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, sensitive skin, malaise, later leading on to a dry cough. There is not usually rhinitis. The disease usually lasts 2 – 7 days.
