Scientists from the University of Baltimore have found that people with high levels of antibodies to human herpes type 4 have a genetic predisposition to develop schizophrenia.

According to the study, 432 out of 743 people who had this infection had mental disorders, including schizophrenia, which prompted doctors to further research. The study of herpes antibodies is purely informative, and scientists urge anyone who is worried about this to consult with their doctor.

Each person is infected with the herpes virus, so at least once in his life he noticed rashes on his lips. Experts explained that the cause of herpes is a weak immune system and ultraviolet radiation in the spring and summer.

As for folk remedies, one of the methods of dealing with herpes is the use of ordinary table salt: several times a day, apply a few grains of fine salt to a cold, and the herpes will heal quickly enough. You can also rub a sore spot on the lips with a cut clove of garlic.
