Cold Sores - The Alien Herpes Virus

Copyright 2005 drbodoh

Cold sores, fever blisters, oral herpes are 3 names for the

same thing - a blister or sore on the face - normally

occurring on the outer edge of your lip or nose.

" Cold sores " is the most common term used for these

hideous, painful and contagious facial sores. Herpes

simplex virus type 1 and type 2 are the root cause of cold

sores. About 80% of cold sores are caused by type 1. Type

2, although primarily the cause of genital herpes sores, is

responsible for about 20% of facial cold sores.

Cold sores are " location specific " , occurring in roughly

the same place each time. The herpes virus is normally

latent, or asleep, in the nerve ganglia behind the jaw on

the same side of your face as your cold sores occur.

Fortunately herpes virus does not travel internally to

infect other locations - but stays put in the area where

first contracted.

Cold sores, when in full blossom, look like a hideous

explosion on you lip or nose. Fact is - that's pretty

close to how cold sores are actually formed.

If you're a science fiction fan like me, you'll notice that

a lot of these shows are based on the idea of alien

creatures using humans to reproduce. The alien creature

" infects " the human body with their seed. When the young

are ready for birth, the human host is destroyed to release

the new alien creatures. The herpes virus replicates in

the same way.

Cold sores are the result of the reproduction process of

the herpes virus. This virus, unlike bacteria, cannot

reproduce on it's own but must have a host. A single

herpes virus enters a nerve cell and forces that cell to

create, or clone, many copies of itself. The original

virus then destroys the host cell to release it's young.

This " explosion " of millions of cells in a close area

produces the massive cold sores.

Cold sores are very painful because the herpes virus has a

particular affinity for nerve cells. Herpes virus travels

the nerve fibers like a highway to the surface and create

the cold sores on the end of those nerves. If you've ever

had a dentist hit the end of a nerve while drilling - well,

it's pretty much the same feeling when your teeth hit the

cold sores.

Cold sores are very contagious from the first tingle to the

last red spot. Even your saliva and nasal fluids (and on

rare occasions even vaginal fluids) can contain the herpes

virus at this time. As a result, nearly 89% of the world

population is infected with type 1 or 2 herpes virus.

Touching your cold sores or kissing can cause a new site

for cold sores on yourself - or someone else.

Contaminated fingers can also transfer the cold sores virus

to objects such as telephones, faucets, and towels. The

virus can live on these objects for days under the right

conditions. Use extreme caution, especially during the

weeping and crusting phases of your cold sores.

Symptoms of cold sores begin with a tingling, dryness

sensation, burning, and/or itching. Cold sores then

progress to these stages: a group of tiny blisters form,

enlarge, and burst to create one large open sore. In 2 or

3 days a crust forms over this open, weeping sore and the

healing begins. The skin heals, the crust falls off, but

there is still healing going on below the new skin - which

leaves a red spot for up to 2 more weeks before cold sores

are considered totally healed.

The entire event for most people averages 3 to 4 weeks -

depending on their current health and on the treatments

these folks used during the various stages of the cold

sores.

For cold sores there is nothing currently available from

medical science or natural science that will eliminate the

herpes virus from the body. If you want to be cold sore

free for life - the secret you must know is keeping the

virus asleep.

Without any treatment, the body will cure the cold sores

through it's own natural healing process. There are a wide

variety of effective home treatment remedies that will

GREATLY hurry up the healing of your cold sores - or

actually prevent the outbreak from happening altogether.

Cold sores over-the-counter medications have not been shown

to shorten the life cycle of cold sores. However, these

lip balms and salves do provide much comfort and help

prevent secondary bacterial infection of your cold sores.
