When we discussed the shingles that appears after chickenpox, this is understandable. People who do not have chickenpox, cuddling with a person who has herpes zoster under the shoulder blade, can become infected with chickenpox.
But about the same story happens with common herpes on the lips. We are used to being hooked on through kisses, but it turns out that hugs are sometimes enough.
This thing can stick to the skin of the face, neck and hands. Did not know? But it happens.
True hugs should be strong enough. In this case, drool should also flow like a river. And the face must be beaten.
Such hard hugs are experienced by athletes who bump their foreheads wall to wall. Well, or who are furiously shaking each other in some kind of struggle.
In such athletes, from stress and sharp straining, drooling is flying, and the skin on the face or hands is also often damaged. It is called herpes gladiatorum. Consonant with "gladiator". Have you presented?
Sometimes there are literally epidemics of such herpes. At some kind of competition.
This is usually the case with young athletes.
Young people, in principle, catch herpes more often, they have no brakes in sports, and they have not yet learned how to cope with repeated infections.
In short, the coach and any assistants with medical workers need to examine the skin of athletes and monitor any rashes. This is not a joke.
This herpes is also called matte herpes. This does not mean that it is cloudy or does not shine. This means that such cold sores are transmitted through sports mats on the floor.
Well, that is, athletes rarely spit in each other's face, but they can spit on the floor (on a sports mat), and then attach their opponent to this mat with a beaten face. Something like this. It turns out that the mats also need to be disinfected more often.
