What Are the Symptoms of Ataxia Induced by Toxins?
The symptoms of toxin-induced ataxia can vary depending on the specific toxin and level of exposure. Common symptoms include gait disturbances, such as an unsteady walk or difficulty maintaining balance. Other symptoms may involve dysarthria (slurred speech), tremors, and nystagmus (involuntary eye movements). Fine motor skills may also be impaired, causing difficulties with tasks like writing or buttoning a shirt.
