In today's episode I share how to prevent and get rid of a cold sore.
HSV-1 (Herpes Simplex virus-1) is transmitted via saliva - think sharing drinks, lipstick, utensils, and kissing. I hear some people even share toothbrushes.😱
Once inside, the virus targets skin cells near the site of entry, where it starts replicating.
After initial replication, it travels through sensory nerve fibers to the trigeminal ganglion (a nerve cluster near the brain) where it remains dormant. For many the virus gets held in ganglion jail and stays there and never becomes symptomatic.
For others, the painful cold sores or fever blisters form on the lips at the most inopportune times.
