Cold sore seizures usually last less than 7 days and are recurrent, recurring whenever the patient's immune system experiences some stress.

As long as there are blisters, the patient remains contagious. When all lesions dry out and have crusts, the patient's chance of infecting someone is greatly reduced, even though it does not become completely null. Even in the asymptomatic phase, some patients continue to present samples of the virus in their oral cavity, serving as a source of virus spread.

About 80% to 90% of the population over 40 have had contact with the cold sore virus at some point in life, but only 1/3 of them develop the disease, with recurrent lesions of the mouth. The other 2/3 develop antibodies, show no symptoms and become immune to the virus.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 can affect other regions of the skin, eyes, liver and even the central nervous system, but in the vast majority of cases, it is even restricted to the mouth region.

Genital herpes may even be caused by Herpes simplex virus type 1, but most often genital lesions are caused by another subtype of the herpes virus, the Herpes simplex virus type 2.

IS THERE A CURE FOR COLD SORES?
2/3 of the people who are contaminated by the virus can control it alone, eliminating it from the body definitely.

The problem is that these people are usually those who have never developed symptoms of herpes, and therefore it gets a little weird to talk about curing a disease that has never really manifested itself.

There is no cure for cold sores in Alopathy.

The herpes virus usually enters our body through the skin, migrating quickly to the nerves that innervate that region.

Once on the nerves, the virus travels to the spine and lodges in a dorsal root ganglion, the site of the spinal cord that contains a group of neurons. At this location, herpes simplex can be "hidden" from the immune system and the drugs we administer. From time to time, whenever the immune system goes down, some of these viruses travel back through the nerves to the skin and trigger a new cold sore crisis.

Allopathy treatments can treat herpes simplex attacks but are unable to attack the virus's "sanctuary" in the nervous ganglion in order to eliminate it from time to time.

The inability of drugs and the immune system to eliminate the virus predisposes infected patients to recurrent episodes of herpes labialis. The frequency and intensity of each recurrence depends on the individual's immune status. Stressful situations for the body, such as excessive sun exposure, lack of adequate sleep, psychological stress, strenuous exercises, surgeries, etc., can be a trigger for recurrences.

While some people experience cold sore seizures almost every month, there are others who have only 1 or 2 seizures per year.
