Well fellow parkies wouldn't you know it! PD can be affected by an infection. Don't you feel special? After all how many people can say they have a degenerative brain disease that can be negatively affected by...well...just about any damn thing.
As for infections, in a March, 2020 report from MJFF, Dr. Rachel Dolhun made this statement concerning Covid-19:
We don’t yet know specifics on how the virus might affect
a person with PD. But any infection — a urinary tract
infection, pneumonia or the flu, for example — can temporarily worsen
Parkinson's symptoms.
Call out the troops. We are being invaded!
Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves, that if our battle against pathogens should last for a thousand years, men will still say, "This was their finest hour."
