Cold Sore Virus: What Most People Don’t Know & How to Get Rid of It Fast!
Cold sores (also known as fever blisters) are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1). Once infected, the virus stays in your body for life, but you can prevent outbreaks and heal them quickly with the right remedies!
🦠 Why Do Cold Sores Appear?
Cold sores usually flare up due to:
✔ Weakened immune system (stress, illness, lack of sleep)
✔ Sun exposure (UV rays trigger outbreaks)
✔ Hormonal changes (menstruation, pregnancy)
✔ Fever or colds
✔ Certain foods (nuts, chocolate, caffeine—high in arginine, which fuels the virus)
