watch out

uh, oh -- be careful what kind of cold virus you get:

"Infection of the central nervous system by the common cold and other viruses may lead to memory loss late in life, Mayo Clinic researchers report. 'Our study suggests that virus-induced memory loss could accumulate over the lifetime of an individual and eventually lead to clinical cognitive memory deficits,' neuroscientist Charles L. Howe, corresponding study author, said in a prepared statement. In studies with mice, his team found that a nervous system infection linked to a pathogen called picornavirus could have a permanent effect on memory. The findings are published in the November issue of the journal Neurobiology of Disease." http://health.msn.com/guides/coldandflu/articlepage.aspx?cp-documentid=100147597&GT1=8618
