I was seriously considering using mn. I was in my local health store yesterday and started talking to the owner about hair etc. I was using ultra hair plus w/msm and gaining weight so changed to the w/o msm version. Anyway.....I brought up the subject of mn, he was bald. This is is what he told me....he used mn for a period of time (months) and woke up one day with no feeling in one side of his face....he went to the doc, he had Bell's Palsey! He said DON'T use it on your head....period. Too many unknowns!!! Just thought I'd share....
Seems like Herpes may cause BP or an infection
Some viruses are thought to establish a persistent (or latent) infection without symptoms, e.g. the
Zoster virus of the face
[3] and
Epstein-Barr viruses, both of the herpes family. Reactivation of an existing (dormant) viral infection has been suggested
[4] as cause behind the acute Bell's palsy. Studies
[5] suggest that this new activation could be preceded by trauma, environmental factors, and metabolic or emotional disorders, thus suggesting that stress - emotional stress, environmental stress (e.g. cold), physical stress (e.g. trauma) - in short, a host of different conditions, may trigger reactivation
