Not directly from neuropathy itself, but the effects of neuropathy may eventually lead to poor blood circulation and the inhibition of proper healing, which in turn can lead to infection. If neuropathy spreads throughout the body and becomes out of control, even a small scratch could become infectuous and the body's healing process may cease to function.
