When your body is fighting an infection, it releases chemicals that cause your blood vessels to constrict and make your muscles shiver, which generates heat. This can fool your body into thinking it is cold, even though you may have a fever.


Why you can step out of the shower into a warm bath - room and begin to shiver?

Well when you are in a shower, you gotta think, you are having a constant body temperature of the water! But when you get out of the shower into a warm bathroom, you begin to shiver because even though the bathroom is warm, its a lower temperature than what your shower water was just at, which causes your temperature to somwhat drop...make sense? Water is evaporating from the body. Heat is converted into the energy needed for the process of evaporation.


What happens your body gets cold?

When your body gets cold, blood vessels near the skin's surface constrict to conserve heat, causing your body temperature to drop. The body may shiver to generate heat, and metabolism increases to help maintain core temperature. Prolonged exposure to cold can lead to hypothermia, where the body loses heat faster than it can produce it.
