Cold chill

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


A cold chill is an involuntary shaking similar to shivering. Unlike shivering however, it is not caused by temperature, menopause or anxiety but rather is an emotionally triggered response when one is deeply affected to things such as music [1], speech [2] or recollection.
