the hand to feel and regulate temperature, causing numbness and heat
sensations and may cause nerve damage and circulatory tissue death.

1.7.2. Not all factors that lead to white finger disease are known, but cold weather,

smoking and other diseases that affect blood vessels and blood circulation as
well as large and long-lasting impact of shocks are considered factors in the
formation of white finger. Note the following to reduce the risk the white finger
and carpal tunnel syndrome:

1.7.2.1. Wear gloves and keep your hands warm
