Cold Sores:

Cold Sores are a highly contagious infection caused by Herpes Simples Virus. Although most of us have the virus, symptoms show when our body defenses are low e.g. after a bout of Cold. The attack usually starts with tingling sensation, which soon develops into a painful blister. The blister collapses to form a weeping sore, which on drying forms a scab. Touching a Cold Sore should be avoided as the infection can spread to other parts of the body.
