Also a likely culprit behind some long covid symptoms (brain fog, concentration problems, anxiety etc) as covid crosses the blood brain barrier causing overactive microglia and neuroinflammation. Low dose naltrexone is a promising treatment for both chemo brain and long covid...guess what it can do. Yes! Modulate microglia and calm them down, in laymans terms.

Possibly, though they're probably doing their thing for a reason which could make disrupting them have unforeseen consequences

Well in long covid the theory is that they are stuck in an overactive state which isnt neccessary and only detrimental. So calming them down shouldnt have negative consequence as getting them out of this chronic state is good.
