This is the last line in the article:
"The virus is usually latent, locked inside cells, but occasionally  
stress, fatigue, certain foods and even sunlight can spark the virus  
into an active phase that damages cells and causes cold sores."

Good stuff to know, yes? So, yet again, we are reminded to control  
stress, get plenty of rest, eat good foods, and protect against  
damaging sun. These are already guidelines for those of us who take  
proactive responsibility for our health.

Thanks for the post, Bev.
