Incidence; Causes & Development Some form of neuropathy affects 1 person in 400. The causes of nerve pathology include: Mechanical from injury, pressure, overworking a part of the body Vascular (blockage of a vessel or hemorrhage into nerve tissue) Infectious as in shingles, diptheria, polio, tetanus, or leprosy Toxic from heavy metals like arsenic, mercury and lead; chemical poisoning from organo-phosphates, drugs or alcohol; vaccination as in Guillain Barré syndrome Metabolic from acidosis, vitamin deficiencies, diabetes. Signs & Symptoms Symptoms of neuritis that arise from the involvement of sensory nerves include tingling, burning, pins-and-needles sensations, stabbing or even loss of sensation.
