What Causes Body Tremors Along With Diarrhea?
Last week, I had a 15 minute spell of severe rigors (shaking chills) a few hours after a single bout of diarrhea that could have been due to food (watermelon). No fever. I ve never had rigors before. What could be the reason for the rigors? BTW, I am a registered nurse.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Watermelon might have caused you food poisoning (infection).
This is the cause for your diarrhoea.
Infection in body, releases cytokines to kill the infection.
These cytokines can cause tremors and chills.
So it is very common to have chills and tremors when there is infection in body.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
