Understanding chemical toxicity exposure
Symptoms of neurotoxicity: Symptoms could occur shortly after being exposed to the substance, or later.
Diagnosis of neurotoxicity: A nerve conduction test is usually done to ascertain whether the peripheral nervous system has been affected.
Chemical exposure: We are all exposed to chemicals in our daily lives.
Chemical exposure: While everyday exposure to dangerous chemicals is indeed low, some consumer products can be potentially toxic.
Neurotoxicity: Neurotoxicants can be natural or man-made. Both can have adverse effects on our nervous system and the brain.
Toxic products: Toxic products may include pesticides, cosmetics, air fresheners.
Symptoms of neurotoxicity: Other symptoms include cognitive and behavioral problems, limb weakness, numbness or tingling.
