A cold-sore is apparently caused by the 'Herpes Simplex' virus(HSV1) and usually contracted via saliva or actually making contact with the erupted sore and transferring to the mouth, especially during kissing!
It can be sparked through stress, hormones or a sudden change in body temperature.
As viruses thrive in heat, the best treatment I have found is the application of ice to the affected area, as soon a tingle is felt.
If the sore has erupted, dose orally with Lysine Powder and apply Manuka Honey to the sore( both available from local health-shops ).
Cold sores are caused by a virus. This virus remains in your system and can be reactivated from time to time. It can be transmitted to another person by kissing or by oral sex when it is active.
