Can you catch Alzheimer’s disease?: Controversial theory links the memory-erasing condition to herpes virus
By that they mean the Herpes Simplex I virus, the one that causes fever blisters. I have it (thanks to my mom when I was little). Alzheimer's is a fear of mine; I live in a state with a high rate for it and my own great-grandmother had it for years before she died; I watched her deteriorate for much of my life, and it was heart-breaking. The idea that a virus that lurks in your system could also rob you of your memory, change your personality, and slowly make you lose everything that is special in life is horrific.
