Stress is known to compromise your immune system which in turn places you at risk of an outbreak.

Getting proper rest, exercising regularly and eating well are all great ways to reduce stress and strengthen your immune system.

Injuries to the face, lips, eyes or mouth, as through trauma, surgery, or sunburns are well established triggers of recurrent oral herpes due to Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1).

The Grammy award winner said that she has major trust issues, and that she doesn’t just make out with people for the sake of it, for it is a waste of her time and kisses.

Clarkson added that she is also scared of ending up having ‘mouth herpes’.

“I have major trust issues. I just don’t make out with people. That’s a waste of my kisses and time. And it’s so personal. It’s like, my face. Plus, I’m afraid of mouth herpes,” the Sun quoted her, as saying.

Talking about her bitter break up with David Hodges, the former Evanescence keyboardist, she said that she actually did not even like him.

The 25-year-old added that she is mad at herself for being so ‘blind’.

“I didn’t even really like the guy. I’m more mad at myself for being so blind. Why would I pick someone like him to date? What’s wrong with me,” she said.

Let me explain.

Cold sore symptoms are caused by the replication process of the herpes simplex virus. 89% of people worldwide have this virus in their body, so it is quite universal. 67% of those folks will experience cold sore symptoms at least once – most often 2 or more times – in the next 12 months.

There are NO cold sore symptoms when the herpes virus is latent (sleeping) within your nerve cells. If they wake up due to some physical stress like flu, colds, or mental stress – then the cold sore symptoms start. And it’s like a “domino effect” – from one symptom to the next.
