Long COVID may be triggered by low iron levels, scientists discover

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

New research has identified iron deficiencies in the blood as a major culprit in long COVID cases.

A new report from the University of Cambridge was able to connect that low iron levels contributed to inflammation and anemia and halted healthy red blood cell production in patients just two weeks after being diagnosed with COVID-19.

Many of those individuals reported having long COVID — which has recently been associated with a frightening IQ loss from brain fog — within months, according to the study, published in Nature Immunology.
