Wish the nicotine could remove the spike protein...what nicotine does is assumed from a 2023 study on nicotine patches for long COVID. The study suggests the COVID virus binds to human nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, blocking their normal signaling and contributing to persistent long COVID symptoms When a person applies a patch, nicotine displaces the virus or its remnants from the receptors, allowing them to resume normal function. This helps alleviate symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and widespread pain.
