Cold
Sore
Not
only
does a cold sore hurt and look unsightly, it is a
clear signal that the
immune system is down.
Cause
The
Herpes Virus (Type 1) generally hides in tiny
nerve fibers (the ones
that
make you able to feel sensation on your lips)
where the immune system’s
killer cells cannot reach it to destroy it. When a
person gets run
down,
the herpes virus seizes the chance to make an
appearance and cause
suffering.
For
many years, the herpes family of viruses has been
closely studied and
is
implicated in illnesses that range from nervous
system disorders to
cancer,
and even heart disease. Most people pick up this
form of herpes in
childhood.
You can transfer the herpes virus from your lip to
your eyes, and cause
ocular herpes, and even blindness.
