I don’t remember.
What was the question?
Yet another reason to stay clean.
Plaques of Alzheimer's disease originate from cysts of Borrelia Burgdorferi - Google Search
Chicken pox is the same virus as Herpes 1.
If you live outside a bubble, you get it.
Very little to do with “being clean.”
What percentage of people in their 60s and older have that virus? If 90% of the total population has it, then it being in 90% of the plaques causing Alzheimer's isn't very significant.
Easy to say. I have herpes simplex-1 from infancy. I was born in 1936 and can assure you that no one knew a thing about viruses back then. I do recall that my mother had cold sore outbreaks from time to time as do I. She died in her seventies and if she ever had anything resembling Alzheimers, it wasn't evident to me or anyone else in the family for that matter.
Chicken pox is caused by the Varicella Zoster virus, a.k.a. Herpes Zoster. This virus is distinct from the two Herpes Simplex viruses.
So are the shingles.

VERY sad story, the headline claimed the newborn was killed by her own mother's kiss...
Your right. Shingles are from the chicken pox wich is Herpes Zoster.
I am all too familiar with both: post-infectious chicken pox encephalitis as a child, and, decades later, shingles and years of post-herpetic neuralgia.
I can relate on the shingles. They suck.
Mercifully, I recently found a remedy: high dose Vitamin D, some 4,000 I.U. per day in the dry form.
Glad you found relief. I, luckily didn’t have any lasting effects but I know people who did. I have wonderd if it could come back again though.
