Cold Sores Linked To Causing Schizophrenia
It seems that scientists have come to a shocking find that exposure to cold sores may be the cause of less concentration and brain shrinking. This is a study that was performed by Johns Hopkins scientists that says they now find that the cold sore might be the culprit who is responsible for the cognitive impairment, or more specifically the herpes simplex virus 1.
The idea that a simple problem as the cold sore can lead to such a dangerous illness is nothing less than shocking. Although we must be careful not to jump to any conclusions, it raises my awareness and I will make sure that I stay on top of this problem as more side effects are being unveiled.
It seems that the anti-bodies to the HSV-1 virus (which doesnt do much good anyways, as they cannot prevent it) are the problem which are causing the disease. This is off course good to know, since we know will be able to look at this and find a cure to it, but it still is alarming. Here is the link to the article about it: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/190373.php
I just thought Id share this article with my readers as I found this very disturbing. Hope it helps people realise the dangers of even small problems like cold sores can mount to serious dangers if not taken care of well.
