Is herpes really a big deal?

Herpes is a horrible disease and is implicated

in causing neurological diseases such as Lou Gehrig's disease

and Multiple sclerosis

:D

Where did you catch it OP?

Lip, meh, lots of people have it. Plus you won't act like a bitch if you get a chance to kiss a girl who might have it. Once you've got it, you've got it.

On the knob? Hmmmm, can't help with that one.

You do know that you most likely have a form of herpes in your mouth or nose right now, dont you?

Nasty motherfucker!

yes a form of herpes, I use to work for an infectious disease

doctor, he at the time had discovered over 40 strains of herpes..


Many cause sever neurological diseases

Most people who do have Herpes, never have any issues from it. Still, it is not something any sane or reasonable person would want.

HERPES...IT'S FOR LIFE!!!!

That cold sore on your lip that you had at age 5 makes you a horrible person. Stay away, move to a leper colony.

It does harm the nervous system, look at the pathology of that virus is all you need to know. There are medically estabilshed links to neurological disesase that AC already mentioned, but its basically hushed up by the PC crowd.

I'm sure there's some subclinical links to other neurological diseases as well. Clinical pathologists admit that Zika is in the "herpes family of viruses". My personal belief is that Zika is just the result of run of the mill herpes infected males having sex with pregnant women, and that strain of herpes is able to infect the fetus and ravage its brain.

no infantigo is a different form of herpes..

many docs are now treating Neurological Diseases with

herpes medication

OH GAWD, I HOPE THEY MAKE A VACCINE!!!

and then administer it to your kids by force...

Impetigo is not caused by a virus.

It is caused by S.aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes bacteria.

My son has it right now, gets it while hes at his mothers house. dirty bitch.

no its not bs, my Doctor is the former Surgeon general of

The state of Michigan and he treats all neurological disease

with herpes meds.

Taking L-Lysine and ample Vitamin C daily (which we should be doing anyways) will keep herpes at bay if you have it. Vitamin D too..basically anything to keep your immune system robust. Cold sores only cum(sic) out when it's compromised.

HAD IT FOR 30 YEARS-RARELY COMES BACK NOW-TAKE L-LYSINE AND ON FIRST SIGN,A COUPLE VALTREX AND USUALLY KNOCKS IT OUT.
I'm SURE IT ADDS TO OTHER MALADIES LIKE MOST OF US GET FROM INFANT AND UP VACCINATIONS>

Nothing worse than that. My brother is in the same position. Knocked up a dirty whore in the past. He lives in a nice clean house but when he has to send his son to the whore's house, it's a fucking jungle.

It is a very big deal. HPV can lead to throat cancer and Herpes can lead to health breakdown, It is also incurable which means you gotta have to take continuous antibiotics.

In the end your health and well being are pretty much screwed.

Goodluck...

The odds are some form of the herpes virus is in your body.

High vitC and wild oregano oil. Rub the oil into back on the spinal column. Work it in the lower portion. Take 2 droppers full daily orally too. Herpes like the spine for home base. They come out to party all over the body but always return to home base.

butthurt coz you got herpes?

The virus is inside of you and it can't be cured.

Your inner organ is breaking down because of it. When you get to middle age, you will experience a lot of health issues.

That is a fact moron!

It's a viral disease, antibiotics won't touch it.

Listne Mexico, just put some Tequila on it!

Where did you get this information from?

HPV can lead to an increased risk of some forms of cancer, but for most people with healthly immune systems it poses no real threat. Again, this is for most people, but not everyone. Those at increased risk are people with compromised immune systems, but even the common cold can be a major problem in this group.

^^^ This is excellent info here ^^^

Statistically speaking 90% of the population carry the virus.

The virus that causes common cold sores may be behind cognitive problems and memory loss later in life.

New research published in Neurology on March 25, found people who had higher levels of the herpes simplex type 1 virus circulating in their blood were more likely to have cognitive deficits than those who had lower levels of the virus in their blood.

"While this association needs to be further studied, the results could lead to ways to identify people at risk of cognitive impairment and eventually lower that risk," study author Dr. Mira Katan, a neurologist with the Northern Manhattan Study at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City, said in a statement.

Cold sores are caused by one of two types of herpes simplex virus. The other typically affects the genital area. People with the herpes simplex 1 virus may not show any symptoms, but some develop painful cold sores that are often unsightly can last a week or more. There is no cure for the virus.

Researchers conducted tests that measured memory, thinking and processing abilities in 1,625 people who were on average 69 years old and lived in northern Manhattan in New York. Tests were given annually for eight years on average. Participants were also given blood tests that looked for five common infections the researchers considered low-grade: herpes simplex type 1, herpes simplex type 2, cytomegalovirus (a virus that can cause serious illness in people with weakened immune systems), chlamydia pneumoniae (which can cause the common respiratory infection pneumonia) and Helicobacter pylori (a bacteria found in the stomach that can cause ulcers).

"We found the link was greater among women, those with lower levels of education and Medicaid or no health insurance, and most prominently, in people who do not exercise," said Katan.

People who had higher levels of the infections were 25 percent more likely to have a lower cognitive score than those with the lowest levels. The study only showed an association, not cause and effect. Infection was not associated with any changes in memory or thinking abilities over the course of the eight-year testing period, the researchers also found.

Katan said the findings suggest exercise and childhood vaccinations against viruses could reduce risk for memory problems later in life.

A 2011 studylinked the herpes virus that causes cold sores to increased risk for Alzheimer's disease. Researchers tagged viral particles with fluorescent proteins and watched them under a microscope, only to find the particles damaged nerve cells in ways that may lead to Alzheimer's.

Dr. Timo Strandberg, a cognitive disease researcher at the University of Helsinki in Finland, and Allison Aiello, an associate professor of epidemiology at the University of Michigan, wrote an editorial accompanying to the new study that called for more research to look at the interactions between disease pathogens and damage to the brain.

One& expert cautioned while the study was intriguing, not much can be made from it at this stage.

"My concerns are, who are these people who are drawn into these studies? Because they're not a representative population," Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert who chairs the preventive medicine department at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, told CNN. He was not involved in the study. "I'm just very cautious about what we can conclude from this association."
