The fact a fever gives you chills is a physical oxymoron, amirite?

Yeah that's called negative-feedback homeostasis

There's a cold storage in the body

So I have no idea if this is true, but thinking logically don't you get chills when the air is much colder than your skin? So the warmer your skin, the likelier you get chills?

Correct, but that makes it an oxymoron because you're on fire but you have chills too ;)

Well I guess my point is you don't get chills because you're cold. You get them because you're warmer than the air. So it's not an oxymoron - having chills means the air is colder than you are, so it's giving you chills.

Well, more exactly, you get chills when you body is less warm than it wants to be. Because a fever is your body wanting to be too hot, you will shiver because your body is trying to warm up

I feel like everything you said contradicted everything else you said, but it also makes perfect sense somehow lol.

yeah haha it's definitely counterintuitive because we shiver when we are cold, but it's to warm us up!
