Peripheral Neuropathy
Iodine deficiency may cause damage [6] to your peripheral nerves. Your peripheral nervous system connects the nerves from your brain and spinal cord, or central nervous system, to the rest of your body. Lack of iodine can cause a disorder that occurs when these nerves malfunction because they’re damaged or destroyed. This affects the normal functioning of the nerves. You may be getting signals of pain when there isn’t any, and you may not feel any pain when something is harming you.
