The findings raised questions about the safety of medical procedures, such as blood transfusions or invasive dental treatment, which may involve the transfer of tissue from contaminated surgical equipment.

However, the fact that the results of the study conducted on people who had growth hormone injections in childhood show that Alzheimer’s can be transmitted under certain conditions is alarming.

Professor John Collinge of University College London said there were three possibilities for developing the condition: it could happen spontaneously due to a sad event, it could be a defective gene or, more recently, a medical incident.
“It is important to point out that this (medical accident) refers to a special situation in which people have been infected with human tissue. In no way does the study suggest that Alzheimer’s is a contagious disease. You cannot get sick. of Alzheimer’s living with someone with this condition, “said the professor.
