Health officials say the symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency (nervous system dysfunction, changes in limb sensation) are particularly noticeable at night. That is, when the temperature of the human body drops.
The most dangerous complication due to vitamin B12 deficiency is damage to the myelin sheath. This sheath protects and covers the nerve fibers so that the nerve fibers can function normally and transmit signals. In the future, such damage may become more serious.
Experts from the Loma Linda University Medical Center emphasize that severe nerve damage often contributes to increased sensitivity of the legs to cold air. At the same time, a person will feel a tingling sensation in the legs, as well as a burning sensation or sharp pain.
At the same time, experts recommend wrapping yourself in a blanket to stay warm. It will help if you can feel the touch on your feet.
Also, due to an insufficient number of red cells in the body, a person with a vitamin B12 deficiency may experience chills. Hands and feet will be particularly cold.
