The S-2 receptor in the eye can also penetrate the corona into the body was being speculated till now but now confirmed Scientists at John Hopkins University claimed in research detailed. The virus can be avoided by wearing masks and gloves, avoiding touching the face. Earlier it was being speculated that the corona could penetrate into the body through the eyes.
Scientists have made a shocking revelation that the corona can penetrate the body through the S-2 receptor present in the eye. If an infected person coughs or sneezes, the virus present in the droplets from it can spread to the body by sticking to the S-2 receptor present in the eye.
The infection starts as soon as the virus reaches the eye of John Hopkins University School of Medicine in the US. The eyes may become red and swollen. The biggest danger is that the virus can also increase its spread through tears present in the eyes.
Dr. Lingli Jhohu of the Department of Ophthalmology told that a post-mortem of 10 people who had not died of corona was done to reach this conclusion. When these eyes were examined, it was found that the eyes also have S-2 receptor which is the largest carrier of corona. When the virus arrives here, it will inactivate the receptor and start spreading the infection as it grows.
Higher S-2 receptor viral load Scientists claim that people with high S-2 receptor may have higher viral load. The first dose of infection can spread through the body through blood. Thirty percent of people are likely to get corona virus from their eyes. This is the reason that even after taking full precautions, it can be a big reason for the people who are falling prey to it.
Reaches the eyes through the respiratory tract
Scientists also say that the virus reaches the eyes through the respiratory tract. It may also happen that infection started from the eyes reaches other parts of the body. Scientists say that dirt released from the eyes may be the cause of the spread of infection. In such a situation, people should pay attention to cleanliness of the eyes. Whatever cloth, towel or handkerchief you are using, be careful not to use anything else.
Of course, the eyes are connected to the nose
Prof. of Virus Genomics of Imperial College of London. Paul Kellam says that if an infected person coughs or sneezes, the virus can enter the eyes and enter the respiratory tract. This is most likely because the eyes are attached to the nasal lacrimal duct.
This is because when you put a medicine in your eye, its taste is felt in the back of the throat. Similarly, the virus can also descend from the eyes to the throat.
