Among American health concerns are several diseases for which there are no cure. Things like HIV and AIDS come to mind as the greatest fears of the adult population for diseases in which there is no cure, or any treatment options are very expensive and out of reach for most people. Another disease in which there are many health concerns is the herpes simplex virus, or more commonly known as cold sores.
Cold sores are highly contagious and generally are suppressed by functional immune systems. Whenever an instance of the immune system becoming compromised occurs, however, it is not uncommon for those with the herpes simplex virus to have a flare up of a blister, usually around the mouth. Cold sores are highly contagious and it is suggested to avoid kissing anyone with them. The sores may take a few days to burst and crust over, and the chance of contracting the virus is reduced after the sore goes away, but the virus can still be present in the saliva. It is highly unlikely to catch the virus from a surface though, as it requires moisture to exist outside of the body.
Cold sore relief and prevention is very important. It is suggested for cold sore relief to maintain a strong immune system and adequate levels of certain key nutrients such as B12, a B-vitamin only found in animal products and supplementation. Vegans with herpes simplex tend to experience cold sores often due to compromised immune function. The amino acid arginine will also play a role in cold sore outbreaks, while lysine inhibits.
Prevention is the key to cold sore relief and management.
