Wearing the mask almost all day effectively protects the mouth and nose from viruses, bacteria and infections. But it also allows us not to see the appearance of a classic virus that generally takes possession of our lips. According to science, this virus could affect 60% of us sooner or later and could do so at this time of year. As we report in the attached study this type of virus is very common not only in children, but also in adults. So much so that sooner or later it could happen to everyone. Let’s go and find out and see what advice science gives us to provide us with preventive help.
What is cold sores
Cold sores is an infectious disease that affects humans on the lips in most cases. We see it in the study reported here. But it does not disdain to attack other parts of the body as well, such as the genitals. In medicine, this virus is called Herpes simplex.
Usually this virus affects almost the entire population in childhood and in many cases we are hardly aware of it. According to science, however, once recovered from the first attack, the virus has the ability to move around our body while remaining inactive. Precisely because of one of the evils of these years, namely stress, science remembers that Herpes could reactivate. There are cases where it remains silent for life.
According to science, this virus could affect 60% of us sooner or later
As researchers and doctors remember, the main causes of the appearance of Herpes would be:
- jump in temperature;
- prolonged exposure to the sun without protection;
- periods of stress and anxiety;
- improper diet and nutrition;
- flu fever;
- period.
How to try to prevent this virus with the advice of doctors
Our doctors all agree when they advise us not to share glasses and cutlery with friends to avoid unnecessary and possible transmission of the infection. Another mistake we could make would be to act on Herpes alone. In fact, let’s remember to always consult a doctor, who will first remind us not to scratch the bubbles to avoid spreading the infection.
If we are affected by the virus, remember not to share towels, but to use your own. Furthermore, as experts often remind us, even in this case a balanced diet, rich in fruit and vegetables, could be an excellent ally at a preventive level.
