Herpes

The other morning, a single gal that I work with came into the office sporting a dandy cold sore.  Since I had never seen her with a  cold sore before, I asked her about it.  She says that she doesn’t know how she got it as she has never knowingly dated any one with the herpes virus.

Now, since I often kiss on the first date, this got me to thinking.  Just because there is no sore present, is a person still contagious?

Maybe I need to be more careful about who I kiss.

  1. Cold sores can break out from a lack of the amino acid, Llysine. I think the virus lives in our systems like the chicken pox virus which is also a herpes virus that can break out with shingles.
