Most adults have herpes. Once they picked it up, and the virus entered the nerve cells.
Herpes is embedded in our DNA and lives there as information. That is, it literally sits on our hard drive like a computer virus in the form of an incorporeal ghost. This is just information. You can't cut it out of our chromosomes. She will stay there forever.
Sometimes the virus crawls out of the cells and turns into a tiny piece of DNA wrapped in a protein wrapper. People give out such sweets to everyone around them. Like Santa Claus for the New Year. This is how the infection spreads.
The candy distribution point is not always visible. We can spread the virus completely unnoticed. That is why most of the world's population is infected with herpes.
They say that herpes has crept out of Africa. And it happened somewhere from 300 to 5000 years ago. That is, quite recently.
Herpes used to live in monkeys, but as usual on the African continent, local residents helped him cross the interspecies barrier. Like HIV. The same story.
And then, in turn, the inhabitants of the African continent were invited to ride to America, where they did about the same. This is how the herpes virus spread across the planet.
Something we were distracted... So, herpes lives inside us and is periodically pulled up to the point of distribution of gifts. Usually on the lips. Into the bubbles. From there it is distributed to everyone. Sometimes it is difficult to refuse such a gift.
Many people dislike itchy blisters on their lips and want to get rid of the virus. But this is impossible. The virus lives inside our head. You can't get there with a cotton swab with alcohol. And on the lips there is no point in burning it. It is not based in bubbles.
The more you blow your blisters, the longer they will hurt. In a simple case, it is generally not recommended to bother. It will pass by itself. Just refrain from kissing.
