During Covid infection, it appears the inflammation and a widespread increase in epthelial permeability allows nanoplastics to enter the blood and CSF, as well as compromising the olfactory and vagus nerve. They bind to the TIM4 receptor, which slows cellular clearance of nanoparticles. With the vagus nerve dysregulated, the related organs cannot heal an remain inflamed, taking on more nanoplastics until systems begin to fail and chronic illness begins.

With this inflammation the body cannot absorb the minerals it needs to fix the issue, the TIM4 receptor is blocked, and as mitochondrial metabolites and additional nanoplastics build-up the cell enters senescence as a protective measure. Chronic illness is the result. Nanoplastics can also be causative in MCAS, POTS, and EDS/Fibromyalgia issues seen in Long Covid.

Here's a quick sequence based on available research:

• Nano paticles are in us, and clear through the gut: Human bile is a reservoir for microplastics, meaning NPs get excreted into the intenstines and can pass with our feces: https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260406/Study-reveals-bile-as-reservoir-for-microplastics-in-humans.aspx

• Covid can allow NPs into the blood through gut damage: Intestinal permeability increases due to Covid infection, which may be a vector for additional ingestion of NP into the blood: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7494274/

• Covid can allow NPs into the brain: Blood-brain barrier permeability goes up during covid infection, allowing NPs to enter the cerebral fluid: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10753064/

• Long Covid causes poor glymphatic drainage, slowing clearance from the brain: Long Covid associated with dysfuntion of the glymphatic system, which is responsible for cleaning cerebral fluid: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11921593/

• NPs cause dysregulation of microvesicles, slowing clearance from cells: NPs can bind to TIM4 receptors, which then blocks their action. TIM4 receptors are responsible for forming the vesicles that clear NPs, and when they are not functioning they cannot clear ceullar wastes effetcively. They also seem to be one trigger of the “cytokine storm”: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.11.19.567745v1.full

• NP’s can alter the immune system: Micro and nanoplastics can alter the immune system, something we’re seeing in covid damage: https://www.mdpi.com/2673-5601/5/4/52

• NP’s damage the cytoskeleton: NPs can alter and damage the cytoskeleton, very similar to post-covid damage: https://www.longdom.org/open-access/active-cytoskeletal-networks-in-intracellular-transport-and-organelle-positioning-1104658.html

• NPs can trigger MCAS: Positively charge microplastics can bind to the MRGPRX2 receptor on mast cells, and may be causative of Mast-Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS): https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.11.19.567745v1.full

• NPs enter through the nasal & intestinal nerves: The vagues nerve and olfactory bulb are confirmed as primary “entry highways” for microplastics and nanoplastics. This can lead to gut dysbiosis and: https://medcraveonline.com/JNSK/JNSK-16-00647.pdf

• NPs bring friends: NP’s act as “trojan horses” for lead, mercury, and PFAS: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/401313740_Health_impacts_of_micro-_and_nanoplastics_in_humans_systematic_review_of_in_vivo_evidence

• Long Covid mineral deficiencies: We know Covid infection can cause mineral deficiencies in at least: Magnesium https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9965430/ Iron https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9694355/ Zinc, Selenium, Copper, Calcium, and Phosphorus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9101904/

If this is true, it's the beginning of widespread Novel Entity crisis and the Nanoparticle Disease is here.
