Is a cold sore a sign of herpes?!


Question: Is a cold sore a sign of herpes!?
Answers:
Colds sore are the symptom of oral herpes!. You can get the herpes virus orally or genitally!. Only the genital version is considered an STD!.

Herpes is spread through skin-to-skin contact, and most people catch oral herpes when they are children from kissing relatives!. Most adults (50% to 80%) have oral herpes, so it is incredibly common!.

Oral herpes is very contagious when you have a cold sore (and can be spread even when you don't)!. Be careful not to kiss anyone or give them oral sex when you have a cold sore!.

Take a mega-dose of L-Lysine, about 3000mg which is 6 500mg tablets!. Your cold sore will be gone within 24-48 hours and you will have no scar and not get a recurring sore for quite a long time!.
Always be sure to keep L-Lysine around for later just in case!. Also, add extra L-Lysine to your daily vitamin regimen!.
This is a mild form of Herpes as is a fever blister!.
