Having HSV-1

Tweet

Fun fact about myself is that I have HSV-1. Which is herpes yes, I know sounds so terrible but it's not. This form of it is caused by a virus which many people get some people get there triggered throughout their life and others do not. I'm one of those people that actually has there triggered throughout their life. When I get a virus aka a cold it sets mine off and I get a cold blister that's how HSV-1 looks. While other people get normal cold blisters I do not. I could pass mine one through kissing if they pop. Which when I get them, I tend to keep to myself anyways. Lucky my kids have never had that virus that cause or if they do, they never get triggered. Most of the time it lays dominate and doesn't get reactivated. Its only risky when it is. Like this week. It's how I know I've had a cold even if I don't feel sick plus I had a booster of my Tdap which caused another one. I hardly ever get blisters from having boosters but since my immune system was already recovering from one cold it trigged it again.
