Causes and Treatment of Paresthesia
5. Causes: Viral
Some viruses cause paresthesia. The varicella zoster virus (VZV) lives in the nerves and leads to shingles. Many people experience a tingling sensation two to four days before the rash associated with the disease appears. The herpes simplex virus, which causes cold sores, is in the same family as VZV and the tingling associated with an emerging cold sore is another example of paresthesia.
