Someone redpill me on cold sores.

submitted by Backfromthedesert to whatever 3.0 yearsMay 7, 2022 09:18:35 ago (+12/-0)     (whatever)

Girlfriend of 6 months just developed one on her lip. I hadn’t seen her for a few days prior, so hopefully I’m not going to get them now. Redpill me on this shit. Redditfags claim most people have “oral herpies” ie hsv-1, but only “genital herpies” hsv-2 is bad. If I stay with this woman I’ll eventually get it from her. If I start a family, my children might get it from her. So, is the “type 1 vs type 2” bullshit just more reddit faggot degeneracy? I think it’s disgusting. Most of the vile internet tries to normalize and destigmatize it.

Some people get cold sores. That's the entire redpill. You're welcome.

Refreshing and comprehensive. Thank you.

I had some cold sores when I was younger. Must have gotten them from my parents. They haven't effected me or my life in any negative way. Haven't had one in decades.

Oral herpes transmits only when the host has symptoms.
Never let your wife do oral sex while having symptoms. You will then have genital herpes.

[ - ] Cunt 3 points 3.0 yearsMay 7, 2022 16:55:33 ago (+3/-0)

They are two different viruses so technically he would have oral herpes on his genitals.... unless she has genital herpes in her mouth.

[ - ] Reawakened 3 points 3.0 yearsMay 7, 2022 11:27:06 ago (+3/-0)

I've been married to my wife for 25 years. She has it, I don't. I don't kiss her when she has one. Only one of our kids has it. He grabbed her and kissed her when he was a little boy before she could stop him.

[ - ] Backfromthedesert [op] 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 7, 2022 12:38:25 ago (+0/-0)

Okay, maybe it’s not as big of a deal as I thought at first. I’ve just never had this come up before in my family or dating.

[ - ] PostWallHelena 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 7, 2022 17:53:09 ago (+0/-0)

Does she have type 2?

[ - ] heebiejeebies 3 points 3.0 yearsMay 7, 2022 10:56:59 ago (+3/-0)

Supposedly, 40-60% of the adult population is infected with either form of herpes, so I guess it'll be somewhat hard to escape if you're looking for a partner if those numbers are true.

Seems that type 1 is better because it tends to only affect around the mouth and cause slight blistering compared to type 2's genital ulcers.

idk much about it though since I don't get cold sores. I do however get canker sores which are basically chronic noncontagious ulcers around inside of the mouth near the gum line, and that shit sucks. Do not recommend.

[ - ] Swej_Ehtsag 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 7, 2022 12:30:32 ago (+0/-0)

I always get canker sores if I don't get enough sleep. If you discover that the same pattern fits you, you should see a sleep specialist.

When I was young I used to smoke three packs a day. I started developing canker sores in my throat. A lot of them. Went to the doctor and he told me the only way to stop them was to quit smoking. I eventually did quit smoking because the pain of these throat cankers was unbearable. The ones on your throat are bigger, more painful and would typically come in at 3 or 4 at a time. So FYI, it can always be worse.

Sucking cock probably didn't help either

I definitely suffer from insomnia, but not usually the kind where you don't fall asleep. I fall asleep decently but often wake up several times throughout the night.

I think the big trigger for mine is stress though. Last time I got them was about two weeks ago as I've been going through an incredibly annoying pre-employment process. They've finally healed a few days ago.

Steroid cream really helps to shorten the duration but difficult to apply inside the mouth. Good for the ones near the lips though.

Sorry to hear about the throat ulcers; that sounds fucking terrible. Hope you're not dealing with that anymore!

A functioning immune system keeps that shit subdued and dormant, Like loads of other shit.
When it expresses its because the immune system has dipped in performance.
So take care of yourself, be healthy, foster and sustain a strong immune system.
And don't worry about it.

[ - ] Backfromthedesert [op] 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 8, 2022 00:25:43 ago (+0/-0)

True shit also keep stress levels down to keep immune system up

When the body does not have what it needs to make new cells it tries with the next best thing. When this happens around mucous membranes; sores occur due to moisture and an acidic environment. Lacking probably an amino acid; L-Lysine perhaps. It could be a virus that "everyone" has but recently I am finding myself unable to reconcile the existence of viruses; seems to be toxins or lack of essential nutrition.

[ - ] reptillian 1 point 2.2 yearsFeb 25, 2023 18:12:21 ago (+1/-0)

Did you come to any conclusion? As you elude to its probably basically toxins and/or lack of nutrition. With outbreaks triggered by natural immune cycle (ie- cold) or immune system deficiency (ie- rash). But fungus, which has contageous properties, I believe is also a major source of "viruses". Again not rocket science but there's an entire industry dedicated to keeping people blind about this reality; rinse-repeat in dozens of other scams all operating at the same time and you get clown world.

Yes there are absolutely 2 different viruses. They are also related to chicken pox. Type I is pretty benign and usually only causes oral sore on the lips. The majority of americans are infected with this virus and after initial infection, it usually only flairs up if your immune system is overwhelmed or if your lips are damaged from chapping or temperature insult. Its very easy to catch this virus and kids get it all the time. You may already have it.
Type 2 is usually spread through sex and sometimes by kissing. The blisters are usually in your privates but could be on your mouth. I dont think you can tell the blisters from type 1 and 2 apart if they are on the mouth. But something like 95 % of mouth blisters are type 1. Again, after initial outbreak, the type 2 virus usually stays dormant for long periods and may never be passed on.

Herpes type 2 has been implicated in some types of cancers and some neurodegenrative diseases too. Its also possible that type 1 might increase your risk of some cancers but interestingly it might protect against certain melanomas.

I wouldnt break up with her over type 1. Which is what it probably is. Ask her to get a test and you can volunteer to get one too. Dont kiss her when she has an active sore. Maybe you should suggest some vitamins and supplements commonly recommended for cold sores. They might even prevent you from contracting the virus.

Very reasonable, thank you!

A secret you won't believe until you try it, earwax will kill a cold sore. I'm serious. Ear wax is full of anti-virals and anti-bacterials. You've never heard of people getting cold sores in their ears right?

[ - ] zr855 1 point 3.0 yearsMay 7, 2022 13:14:56 ago (+1/-0)

Take a bunch of vitamin C and that shit goes away. Cures most viruses over time.

[ - ] germ22 1 point 3.0 yearsMay 7, 2022 10:46:46 ago (+1/-0)

The part that you didn't see her for a few days prior is a red flag to me.

[ - ] taoV 2 points 3.0 yearsMay 7, 2022 12:19:37 ago (+2/-0)

Supposedly they're most likely within 7 days of first exposure, so if he's known her a while and it comes out of nowhere then caution is recommended.

[ - ] Backfromthedesert [op] 1 point 3.0 yearsMay 7, 2022 12:31:16 ago (+1/-0)

Well we did go to a meadery last weekend and each had a flight of six to sample. Maybe one of the glasses were contaminated / improperly washed?

[ - ] taoV 1 point 3.0 yearsMay 7, 2022 12:35:02 ago (+1/-0)

Seems possible, I've heard of people getting it from sharing cigarettes. You might want to look up how the virus behaves to get a sense of how it transmits and when it appears. IIRC it goes dormant over time for a lot of people.

[ - ] Backfromthedesert [op] 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 7, 2022 12:25:19 ago (+0/-0)

I’m not worried on that front. I agree though, never can be certain.

[ - ] RecycledElectrons 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 8, 2022 04:28:09 ago (+0/-0)

I can not tell you if a sore is herpes or not without seeing pics.

Herpes is herpes. If she has it, it is in all her bodily fluids. Source: my doctor and my personal experience with herpes.

There ARE many strains of herpes. Some are much more infectious that others, but all infect all your bodily fluids.

If you get herpes, get it in your mouth so you can open your mouth and brush the sores with a toothbrush and hydrogen peroxide (3%) until there is a white ring all the way around the sore, then wait 48 hours for it to heal and do it again. Repeat until the sore goes away.

6 months or maybe a year after oral infection you can be exposed to the same strains other ways (e.g., coitus after you marry her) and not get genital sores.

Viruses don’t exist it’s an autoimmune response.

Nearly everyone gets cold sores on their face, it’s not a big deal.

Don’t worry about it. You have a good girl, it’s embarrassing and happens.

[ - ] QuestionEverything 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 7, 2022 20:30:54 ago (+0/-0)

You can beat that shit, even herpes.

Provoke it first. Eat shit that triggers your outbreak. Walnuts work for a lot of people, stuff in walnuts is like food for viruses.

ZAP it with anti-viral therapy. Ivermectin and zinc for example.


[ - ] Shitstartercarter 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 7, 2022 16:37:35 ago (+0/-0)

I've only gotten one once in my almost 30 years on the planet. You can get them from shit other than being a whore. Like touching something and then touching your face. They generally go away in a short amoumt of time. God knows how I got mine.

[ - ] GlowNiggerDick 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 7, 2022 15:13:20 ago (+0/-0)*

Lots of people sugar coating it. Obviously its better to not have it than have it and if the gods disfavor you, it can cause blindness and facial paralysis. I got it in highschool from my girlfriend who got it from her parents as a kid, which is how most people get it. Your probably already had it and didnt realize it. Any recent gum or cheek pain?

It hits me maybe twice per year. Usually a soar spot appears where the top of my gums connects with the interior of my cheeks. It hurts like a 3.5/10 for couple days when im chewing. No one would even know I have it though. Once every other couple years or so ill get one on my lip, I can feel it coming before it develops now, so when I get the little itchy feeling I just go buy cold soar cream. The cream will stop it from developing and itll just look like a tiny pimple. If you let it go, it looks pretty gross for about a week.

I dont have have dick herps thankfully, but I cant imagine it being the end of the world. The cream works so damn well you could probably pass it off as chaffing or something for how rarely it pops up if you take care of it.

You can cure them with baked beans

I dated a girl in high school that had a cold sore. Didn't know what they were or that they could spread until literally right now. I just assumed she had a sore around her mouth. She said she had a cold sore and it would heal. I didn't think much more of it. Made out with her lots of times. I've never had a cold sore.

It means your bitch ain't keeping her mouth clean. Simple as that.

Oh, and the bacteria that causes cavities and sores can be spread through kissing.

I remember having at least one when I was a kid, not once did it ever happen during my adult life. I had to look it up because I actually forgot what I looks like.

Exactly. I’m equally concerned about it getting transferred to me in either area.

"I think it’s disgusting"

What more do you need? If you're turned off by some nauseating toe fungus, you're turned off.
