A member asked:

I cutted my finger with a sharp cutter and immediately sprayed perfume to the wound and a bandaid,i got a little chill with no fever and feel sleepy?

Get checked: What you describe is likely a vagal (automatic) response to an injury. It is kind of like a safety system to prevent further injury to the body. It will pass soon. What you really need is to have the cut evaluated by your family physician to see if it needs stitches or other treatment. Perfume is not usually a good antiseptic.
