Cold Sores & Alzheimer’s: Who Knew?

Wild science update: researchers found people with a history of cold sores (yep, those caused by HSV-1) had a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s—like, 80% higher! But here’s the twist: folks who took antiviral meds for HSV-1 actually had a lower risk. The numbers are still small, and the study isn’t perfect, but it’s definitely making me look at cold sores differently. Anyone else surprised by this connection? #HealthNews #Alzheimers #ScienceUpdate #Health
