Are Cold Sores Contagious?
When we see some one suffering from cold sores, your first fear will be whether an association with the infected individual will contaminate you or not. Cold sores are contagious from person to person and in a lot of ways. One can easily infect others this easily communicable infection through a virus called herpes simplex virus. Cold sore in a person some times may not be obvious in his physique but can be a carrier of this virus.
Generally, this HSV-1 virus which causes cold sore is seen infecting one in the age of five. But it will be inactive there and takes its effect only when one reaches at their puberty. This virus will remain inactive in ones body for a longer time and only later it will be transformed to the obvious disease called cold sore.
This virus is highly contagious. It can enter ones physique by some simple contacts with the infected person or through a kiss. Children of the infected parents are most vulnerable to the cold sore as easily as it is sensitive to a simple touch. It also transmits through air when one is exposed to the coughing or sneezing of the affected.
In most cases the HSV-1 is spread because of the common usage of toiletries together with an infected person. It is possible the HSV-1 virus remains in the things used by the infected and will the transmitted to the next user by a mere use of it. This is spread quickly when multiple users are there for the same object.
Routine contacts with the infected person will be just enough to get one person affected with cold sore and most people are getting the infection this way. Intermingling with the infected is the highest possibility of this disease and this will develop in ones physique in different stages. The initial stage is known as tingle stage at which this virus will become active. This will not be a full stage cold sore, but virus will be active.
The tingle stage will be followed by weeping stage. In this risky stage the virus will be in most energetic and tend to spread quickly. This stage will be characterised with the sore burst open and expel some sort of clear liquid which carry this virus. The risk of infection will be at its peak in the crusting stage when the sore is scabbed over. Though the severity of contagious may vary, in every stage it is communicable.
One should be extremely careful to see that one should not be in danger just because of his own infection. It is the infected one that should have to take care to avoid close contacts with others if one has a cold sore. At the same time one without this infection should take care of their hygiene to prevent it happens to them.
One should know that not only this HVS-1 virus is easily communicable but also it can easily spread from one part of the body to other. If proper care is not there, the infected person may harm himself by affecting various parts of body. One should ensure proper and systematic hygienic habits when they have a cold sore to avoid the spread of HSV-1.
