• Beriberi is a disease caused by a vitamin B-1 deficiency, also known as thiamine deficiency. There are two types of disease: wet beriberi and dry beriberi. Wet beriberi affects the heart and circulatory system. In extreme cases, wet beriberi can cause heart failure. Dry beriberi affects the nervous system resulting in numbness of the hands and feet, confusion, trouble moving the legs, and pain.
