Many people have poisoned carbon monoxide by inhalation. Sometimes, in addition, after the disappearance of the poison, the patient suffers brain damage.
It is not uncommon; many people have been poisoned by inhaling carbon monoxide. In some cases, in addition, after the disappearance of the poison, the patient suffers brain damage. Now the influence of gas on the brain has been clarified.
In the brain, gas modifies the MBP protein in myelin, that is, in the axons of neurons. The change in this protein activates the immune system in the brain; the body is foreign and attacks whoever finds it.
The problem is the duration of this attack, as despite the disappearance of all modified NTM, the immune system does not stop and also attacks healthy NTM. This can cause chronic damage to the brain.
Therefore, researchers have proposed using immunosuppressants in case of carbon monoxide poisoning.
