Toxic proteins in the brain
Covid virus can produce proteins that form deposits that are toxic to nerve cells, like those found with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
These "amyloid structures" may explain long-lasting neurological symptoms after Covid: memory loss, sensory confusion, severe headaches, brain inflammation, cognitive and psychiatric issues, and even stroke, as well as the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
