carpal tunnel syndrome. This condition reduces the ability of the hand to feel and regulate
temperature, causing numbness and heat sensations and may cause nerve damage and
circulatory tissue death.
3.59
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 longlasting 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:
3.60
Wear gloves and keep your hands warm
3.61
Take regular breaks
3.62
All of the above precautions may help reduce the risk of white finger disease but not rule
out carpal tunnel syndrome. Long-term and regular users are therefore recommended to
observe the condition of your hands and fingers. Seek medical attention immediately if any
of the above symptoms should occur.
