A new study suggests people with long covid are experiencing a serotonin reduction triggered by remnants of the virus lingering in the gut, which could explain memory problems and some neurological and cognitive issues. 📰

Scientists Offer a New Explanation for Long Covid

In some patients, remnants of the coronavirus in the gut may stifle production of serotonin, an important neurotransmitter, researchers suggest.

well that only reaffirms my decision to keep doing everything humanly possible to avoid covid, the absolute last thing i need is any more fuckery with my serotonin.

Yup! My serotonin is good (thanks Buspirone!) long covid is terrifying. Had it 2x, 1st time was nothing, 2nd time I was really sick so, 4x vaxxed now...

Do not minimize this.
