maybe the barrier is not that leak-proof as current medical postulates? Maybe it's not a barrier after all, just a border?

How is babby formed!??

Seriously, is it possible the brain is infected (innoculated maybe?) in utero before the blood brain barrier is formed, or before the skull is formed.

That would be cool: if mothers passed on a colony of bacterias that evolved down the generations.

Everything has limits and fails. So yeah, probably this.
