While a stomach bug is undoubtedly an unpleasant experience, its symptoms normally disappear in a matter of a few days. But now researchers have found that a stomach bug found in a majority of people can be quite dangerous in the long term.
A common stomach bug found in two-thirds of the world population can be linked to an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, according to a recent study by McGill University in Canada.
The research, published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association, analysed the health data of over 4 million people in the UK aged 50 and older between 1988 and 2019.
Researchers found that those who had contracted a common stomach infection called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) had an 11 per cent higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
This was not a fun article to read while I’m currently shitting my brains out with explosive diarrhea.
How’s the ADHD doing? There was a link in there to an article about how having that might increase risk of Alzheimer’s.
That doesn’t help my concerns either 😂😭
Fuck
Stay hydrated.
Oh yes! I have one of those 74oz bottles of water I carry around and I usually make it through 1-1.5 bottles a day. I was an avid water-homie on the other social media site. 💦💦
