Is Bell's palsy triggered by autoimmune cross-targeting? herpes simplex with a spirochete?

Autoimmune cross-targeting hypothesis

The layering of 2 different infections on one target triggering autoimmune disease.  A viral infection marking the inside of the target then a bacterial, or fungal, or mycobacteria infection marking the outside.

newer post examines HLAs and vaccine triggers: Flu viruses are more likely to be triggering Bell's palsy.
