In the above study, we read....

'The reason(s) for the discrepancy between the above reports and our own findings remain to be determined....The need to determine whether cyanotoxins enhance hepatic injury in the setting of existing liver disease was driven by the growing epidemic of obesity and high prevalence of viral hepatitis which together, have resulted in large segments of the population being diagnosed with chronic liver disease.
....
Mice with thioacetamide-induced liver injury....'

1.) The report invokes viral hepatitis in the human population yet uses a non-viral method to simulate real-world viral hepatitis. Thioacetamide itself links to one deceptive part of the article, and the (anti-viral link [italics]) is here:

Jun 2012 Shandong, China Arylazolyl(azinyl)thioacetamide. Part 9. Synthesis and Biological Investigation of Thiazolylthioacetamide Derivatives as a Novel Class of Potential Antiviral Agents
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22870806
'....HIV-1....influenza....values much lower than that of oseltamivir carboxylate, ribavirin, amantidine, and rimantidine,'

We next focus on the Chinese worker in the Canadian microcystin study:

(1990) Diazepam Metabolism in Native Chinese Poor and Extensive Hydroxylators of S-Mephenytoin: Interethnic Differences in Comparison with White Subjects
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2225709

We then link diazepam to influenza to make the Alzheimer's connection at the ethmoid sinus entry point:

May 2015 Diazepam / Influenza
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25903735

and (why not?) the Japanese connection between diazepam and thioacetamide:

We can see that the mysterious book linking to Cleveland State University also links to why it was found in Wisconsin:

24 Oct 2017 The Badger Herald, Foxconn Project Sparks Concerns For Wisconsin's Environment: Exemptions from DNR regulations, company's history of pollution could yield negative impacts for state's waters

'...." We are threading a lot of environmental protections for this company that, one of their hallmarks is they dump these toxic chemicals into rivers and streams. That's what they did in China," Taylor said. "That's why they want to be near water. They need water but they also dump their toxic chemicals into rivers and streams." In 2013, environmental groups raised concerns that Foxconn was dumping " water with a black-green color and chemical odor" into the Huancangjing and Hanputang rivers in China twice a day, according to DailyTech. Foxconn claimed its actions were within emission standards.
....
He said Foxconn has laready met with UW officials to discuss curriculum creation that could prepare students for the company's workforce. "It's not just like some big factory coming into Wisconsin. This is really a game changer for the state," Maley said. "it's really the next stage of manufacturing and it's kind of exciting that it's happening in the state of Wisconsin."

But Taylor criticized the decision to give so much financial support to a foreign company when Wisconsin has many local companies that are struggling and could benefit from government incentives. While Maley touted new opportunities for Wisconsin graduates, Taylor said the Foxconn deal reflects a lack of investment in students. Rather than helping students refinance their student loan debt or make college more affordable, Republican legislators invested in a foreign company that has shown little respect for the environment in the past, Taylor said.

"I think young people are the future of our state....we need them to stay in the state, we need them to come to the state, and yet we are not building the state that they value," Taylor said. "We are not protecting our environment, which is very important to the younger generation." '

Mussels can sequester the algal toxin, microcystin. Acid-making Zebra mussles are part of the problem of environmental Russian roulette.

A further clue linking the Chinese Emerald Ash Borer to arsenic is the arsenic link to Microcystis within the same basic region:

As in bullet-making, the Chinese ash borer's jaws are hardened by arsenic. The above reports show that microcystin synthesis is affected by arsenic as well. Thus, we make the arsenic connections to Alzheimer's:
