And what can cause alpha-synuclein misfolding? Genetic mutations, exposure to certain toxins, & infections.

COVID-19 may be one such infection, meaning long COVID symptoms may be a reflection of a developing neurological disorder.

Alarmingly, two studies published by the Mayo Clinic and the Medical University Innsbruck corroborate the findings in the Nature articles, recording signs of dream-enactment sleep disorder among one-third of patients after being infected with COVID-19.

Over 80% of patients with dream-enactment sleep disorder go on to develop a Parkinson's-like disease within two decades.

So how does all of this connect? Basically, if dream-enactment sleep disorder is more common in those who have had COVID, and the vast majority of those who suffer from this kind of sleep disorder ultimately develop neurological diseases like Parkinson's, then COVID-19 could lead to an explosion of these diseases in the coming years.

This is not mere speculation; animal models further substantiate these claims.
