Very speculative article, but does provide a nice succinct explanation for the counter-intuitive idea that multiple infections could pead to greater chance of long covid. That said, I got terrible long covid after my first infection. I consider myself to still be getting over it. I've been reinfected about 6 times (apparently this is actually abnormal). The o ly long covid symptom I've fou d to get worse after some of my reinfections is that my breath gets shorter again long term, and I have to go about clawing back my pulomnary capacity again. Otherwise brainfog and the like seem to mostly not worsen, although I will say that I'm still, 3 years on, trying to get rid of the last vestiges of those symptoms. Feel like I overshared my personal experience here for some reason, but like I said, article seems highly speculative. So why not share some anecdata while we're at it.

For about 6 months after the first time I got Covid, smoke really bothered me. The California wild fires were miserable. I'm currently getting over Covid for the 4th time (I think), and the smoke is slightly bothering me, but it isn't terrible.

you got covid 6 times without being immunocompromised? Have you done all tests to rule that out? What's your job if I may ask? I would get it for a nurse or something maybe.

  I've had it four times, but I've got lung issues, so it's not entirely surprising. First time was before there was a vaccine, and the successive times were half as bad as the previous time. Came very close to dying the first time, that was very unpleasant.

Are you vaccinated? How often?

  Counterexample: - I'm completely unvaccinated - Tested positive once (had no symptoms, only tested because of close contact) - No long covid - Healthier and more energetic than ever - Never wear a mask - Have stash of *vermect*n, never used

    If you are not a carrier of parasites, the ivermectin won't help you. However, if you are host to parasites susceptible to ivermectin, then it can indeed improve your outcome re Covid. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/jul/16/huge-study-supporting-ivermectin-as-covid-treatment-withdrawn-over-ethical-concerns https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/jul/16/huge-study-s...
