Have you developed a cold sore recently? Are you curious as to what the relationship is between cold sores and sharing foods? Then this article is for you, because in it, we're going to dive right in and talk about why you should not be sharing food with someone who currently has a cold sore.
I'd like for you to think of a cold sore as a cold or the flu.
The reason for this is simple; cold sores are just as contagious as any sickness that someone could have.
Would you eat after someone who had a cold? You probably wouldn't, right? So then, would you want to eat or drink after someone who has a cold sore? Probably not, and this seems kind of elementary to be saying that, but there are so many people who just don't understand that.
When it comes to cold sores and sharing foods, one should understand that cold sores can be spread between someone who has the HSV virus to another person, regardless of whether or not the HSV person has a cold sore or not.
So that is something that you will want to be on the lookout for as well.
Cold sores show up at the most inconvenient times, and if you get a cold sore, there really isn't a whole lot that you can do about it, as there is no definite cure for them.
So remember, when it comes to cold sores and sharing foods, think to yourself, "Would I eat or drink after someone who had a cold?"
