Porphyromonas gingivalis binds to saliva molecules and shuts down production of mucin in your salivary glands.
Mucin protects your oropharygial space from Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Not that I really have any choice...

I believe that the majority of mental illness is secondary symptoms of common chronic infections. I was a medical librarian, and now I just pretty much constantly research sleep disorders, depression, mania and dementia. This is where I collect my accumulating hypotheses and try to document the atrocities occurring daily in the Infection Industrial Complex.
My goal is not to convince you that my ideas are right, but to show you there is more than one way to interpret scientific data.
Update:
After fifteen years of this, I finally think I am right.

A hearty recommendation for this quirky zombie movie: Perfect Sense

"A chef and a scientist fall in love as a mysterious epidemic begins to rob people of their sensory perceptions."

Almost perfect.
