•After an initial infection, the virus stays dormant inside the nerve cells of the face. Later on in life, the virus can reactivate and result in more sores.

•Wash items that may have had contact with the infected sores, like towels, in boiling water after use.
•Don’t share food utensils or other personal items, such as chapstick, with people who have oral herpes.
•Don’t share cold sore creams with anyone.
•Don’t kiss or participate in oral sex with someone who has cold sores.
•To keep the virus from spreading to other parts of the body, don’t touch the blisters or sores. If you do, wash your hands with soap and water immediately.

This means it lies dormant in the system, only to appear sporadically throughout the course of its host’s lifetime]]> 2018-11-25 18:45:51 UTC https://padlet.com/brit_robison/oy7pq5ilt0vj/wish/307546445 brit_robison https://padlet.com/brit_robison/oy7pq5ilt0vj/wish/307556089 • The herpes virus travels to the lip or area that was originally infected via nerve endings.
• This area begins to tingle, itch or burn, just below the skins surface. 
• About a day, or so, after the tingling a red bump will appear. 
• This bump will turn into a blister. 
• The blister will then dry up and a yellow crust will appear in it's place. The crust will fall off and leave a pinkish area in it's place.
• After these stages the virus will then travel back to the nerve cells, where it will go back to "sleep."]]> 2018-11-25 19:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/brit_robison/oy7pq5ilt0vj/wish/307556089 brit_robison https://padlet.com/brit_robison/oy7pq5ilt0vj/wish/307557628 Cold sores normally last 7-10 days. Although there are no magic cures that will make the infection go away, there are special prescription medications and creams that will shorten the length of an outbreak and make the symptoms less painful. To make yourself more comfortable when you have a cold sore, you can apply an ice pack wrapped in a towel or anything cool to the area. You also can take an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen.]]> 2018-11-25 20:10:51 UTC https://padlet.com/brit_robison/oy7pq5ilt0vj/wish/307557628 brit_robison https://padlet.com/brit_robison/oy7pq5ilt0vj/wish/307559369 Anyone can contract cold sores.
