10 Causes of Peripheral Neuropathy
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #8: Poisoning
The world we live in is full of compounds that can be very harmful to us. They can be on the surfaces we touch, in the air that we breathe and even in the food that we eat. Fortunately, though, such compounds are only usually present in very small amounts and are easily processed by our immune system. Should these compounds be allowed to accumulate, though, we can become very ill.
Poisonings are quite rare but can occur if you come into contact with the wrong substance and can occur if you eat the wrong foods. One possible symptom of poisoning is peripheral neuropathy; there are also other symptoms that can be dangerous, so you should seek medical attention if you suspect that you are suffering from poison.
