Doctors Link Polio Virus to Bad Teeth in Infants
Dr. J P Frisch and Dr H H Reese report 60 percent of 150 infantile paralysis patients from the University of Wisconsin Orthopedic Hospital had badly decayed teeth while 26 percent of non polio cases showed major cavities. They suggest the virus may lurk in food and enter via dentin crevices. Experiments on cotton rats on high sugar diets with decayed teeth are planned to test the theory.
