I feel something crawling on my body

People are very familiar with their own bodies, and can clearly notice some subtle changes. Many people sometimes feel as if something is crawling on their body, but they cannot figure out what it is. When this happens, many people think that there are bugs on their bodies, or there are other things somewhere, but in fact this is an unusual situation caused by the body's nerves, which gives people the illusion that something is crawling.

I always feel like there are bugs crawling around my body, but when I look with my naked eyes, there is nothing there. Is it because the bugs are too small to see? I always feel uncomfortable and itchy all over. What is going on?

I believe you have also experienced this situation: when you are about to fall asleep in the middle of the night, you suddenly feel a bug crawling on your body. Helpless, you can only drag your tired body up to look for the bug, but you can't find anything after searching for a long time. Not long after you turn off the lights and lie down, this feeling comes back again. This is indeed a distressing thing. I have this feeling even at ordinary times. Could it be that a bug has entered my body?

It's not the bugs' fault, it's the nerves

Everyone's skin will have a certain degree of sensitivity to external stimuli. This is because there are many densely packed nerve receptors distributed on your skin. These receptors can quickly receive external stimuli and then transmit them to the brain.

However, when your nerves are overly sensitive, the above situation will occur: even when there is nothing crawling and you are not feeling any stimulation, you will feel like something is drilling around in your body. Some people may experience not only itching but also tingling and numbness.

Does this situation require treatment?

This neurosensory abnormality is mainly divided into systemic, local, inflammatory and non-inflammatory. If the symptoms are very mild and occur occasionally, no treatment is needed. Pay attention to nutritional supplements, exercise more, and strengthen your physical fitness. In addition, you should pay more attention to rest and don't care too much about it. There will be certain psychological effects, and the more you care, the more obvious the feeling will be.

If the symptoms are obvious and often accompanied by strong itching and pain, there may be inflammation, then you need to go to the hospital for treatment in time. The sensory abnormalities caused by neuritis are very harmful to the human body. Not only can they affect a person's normal development, they can also lead to movement disorders, greatly endangering human health. The difficulty of treatment varies from person to person depending on individual circumstances. You should supplement vitamin B12, quit smoking and drinking, avoid strenuous exercise, and develop good living habits.

How to prevent neuritis

The main causes of neuritis are infection, poisoning, nutritional deficiency or metabolic disorder, so if you can't prevent it, you can start from these and do the following.

1. Nutritional supplement

Generally, neuritis is mainly caused by a lack of vitamins B1 and B12. In addition, neuritis can also be caused by a long-term vegetarian diet. Therefore, nutritional supplementation is the real thing!

2. Dietary taboos

No smoking, drinking, spicy food. Long-term and excessive smoking and drinking not only cause neuritis, but also endanger health.

3. Pay attention to the recovery of patients with diabetes and those who have undergone gastrointestinal surgery

These patients may have impaired absorption function after surgery, and may easily develop neuritis due to nutritional deficiencies.
