Paresthesia

Paresthesia manifests as a tingling or 'pins and needles' sensation, often in the face, neck, and hands, due to beta-alanine's interaction with nerve receptors. It is generally temporary and harmless.

Paresthesia is characterized by a tingling or prickling sensation, often described as 'pins and needles.' It is frequently experienced in the face, neck, and hands. While generally harmless, it arises from beta-alanine's interaction with nerve receptors, potentially causing altered neuronal signaling that results in altered sensory perception. The sensation is temporary and does not usually indicate any underlying nerve damage.
