Nerve damage can be caused by toxins. It occurs when there is exposure to
natural or artificial toxic substances. These
toxins are called neurotoxins.
Neurotoxins alters the normal activity of the
nervous system in such a way as to cause damage to
nervous tissue. It is a destructive or poisonous
effect upon the nerve system. This can eventually
disrupt and damage nerve cells.
Neurotoxicity can result from exposure to
substances used in chemotherapy, radiation treatment,
drug therapies, drug abuse such as ecstasy, and organ
transplants. It can be caused by exposure to
heavy metals, certain foods and food additives,
pesticides, industrial and/or cleaning solvents,
etc. See below for a partial list.
Symptoms of this exposure may appear immediately after
or it may be delayed. They may include limb weakness or
numbness, loss of memory, vision, and/or intellect,
uncontrollable obsessive and/or compulsive behaviors,
delusions, headache, cognitive and behavioral problems
and sexual dysfunction. Individuals with certain
disorders may be especially vulnerable to neurotoxins.
Foods have additives that can also cause nerve
damage - Toxins
