It is believed that a condition called Raynaud’s
phenomenon, which affects the fingers of certain
individuals may be brought about by exposure
to vibration and cold. Exposure to vibration and
cold may cause tingling and burning sensations
followed by loss of colour and numbness in the
fingers. The following precautions are strongly
recommended because the minimum exposure
which might trigger the ailment is unknown.
Keep your body warm, especially the head, neck,
feet, ankles, hands and wrists.
Maintain good blood circulation by performing
vigorous arm exercises during frequent work
breaks and also by not smoking.
