Cold Sores Linked to Alzheimer’s?

Wild new study alert: People with cold sores (yep, those annoying lip blisters) might have a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s. Researchers found that folks with the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) were more likely to get Alzheimer’s, but those who took antiviral meds had a 17% lower risk. The science isn’t totally settled, but this could mean treating cold sores might actually help protect your brain. Who knew your lips could spill secrets about your future health? #Alzheimers #HealthNews #ColdSores #Health
