I assume the answer to my question is no. I work with steel. Many of the old timers I have worked with wind up with Parkinsons, dementia, alzheimers. We know bacteria evolve. Having that first shot gives us immunity but we need boosters to keep our immune system on guard.
sounds like you almost have all the answers your looking for
but your looking for something dressed in drag singing a broardway song wearing shiny heels
metals ...
what does iron do to the blood ?
how is iron transported in the blood ?
what is ferrous poisoning ?
what is metal poisoning ?
what is the average diet of the average worker for the last 20 years who works with you ?
do they suffer from the same rate of cancer as other people in your community ?
what types of cancer ?
do they get cancer before they get parkinsons ?
dementia is a very wide non specific bracket
how prevalent is alzhimers ?
Could "hording" also be caused by not properly treating Tetanus?
i am happy to get more technical about psychology if you wish to discuss this on a psychological level
if your asking if hoarding can be caused by a virus, the answer is like asking if fire can be created from nothing
diet
when your colleagues were consuming vast quantities of pesticides in vegetables & massive quantities of antibiotics & animal drench in meats
and all sorts of terrible chemicals in tooth past
mercury in dental fillings
what were you doing at the time ?
what long term exposure have you and your colleagues had to high frequency power lines and large machines ?
all day fuel/gas/petrol/diesel fumes ?
hands being covered in diesel and oil how many times per week for how many years ?
you dont want to answer my questions because of your emotional problems
i understand that
i dont care
(if you put the cart before the horse emotionally you will never achieve anything scientifically)
its a big subject
as the Chinese say a journey of ten thousand steps starts with one step
here is some vague real hard science info for you to frame the complex malaise of metal toxicity

Abstract
Several heavy metals are found naturally in the earth crust and are exploited for various industrial and economic purposes. Among these heavy metals, a few have direct or indirect impact on the human body. Some of these heavy metals such as copper, cobalt, iron, nickel, magnesium, molybdenum, chromium, selenium, manganese and zinc have functional roles which are essential for various diverse physiological and biochemical activities in the body. However, some of these heavy metals in high doses can be harmful to the body while others such as cadmium, mercury, lead, chromium, silver, and arsenic in minute quantities have delirious effects in the body causing acute and chronic toxicities in humans. The focus of this chapter is to describe the various mechanism of intoxication of some selected heavy metals in humans along with their health effects. Therefore it aims to highlight on biochemical mechanisms of heavy metal intoxication which involves binding to proteins and enzymes, altering their activity and causing damage. More so, the mechanism by which heavy metals cause neurotoxicity, generate free radical which promotes oxidative stress damaging lipids, proteins and DNA molecules and how these free radicals propagate carcinogenesis are discussed. Alongside these mechanisms, the noxious health effects of these heavy metals are discussed.

5. Health effects of heavy metal toxicity in humans
Heavy metal toxicity can have several health effects in the body. Heavy metals can damage and alter the functioning of organs such as the brain, kidney, lungs, liver, and blood. Heavy metal toxicity can either be acute or chronic effects. Long-term exposure of the body to heavy metal can progressively lead to muscular, physical and neurological degenerative processes that are similar to diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy and Alzheimer’s disease. Also, chronic long-term exposure of some heavy metals may cause cancer [7]. The various health effects of some heavy metals will be highlighted below.
