There is a potential link between Alzheimer's disease and the herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1), which is a common cause for cold sores, a recent study suggests

Repeated head injuries suffered by sports players and military personnel — a known risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease — may induce dementia by reactivating the dormant herpes virus in neural tissues, according to laboratory experiments.
