Understanding pH Level and Why We Have Cold Sores

The cold sore is a contagious disease. In Australia almost 70% of the population suffers from the cold sore virus. This virus is called as HSV – 1 and it is commonly known as a fever blister or cold sore. Generally the cold sore disease spreads to others either through physical contact or through mediums such as utensils, saliva, oral contact, etc. Failing to take adequate care may result in the formation of swelling blisters which swell and grow red in colour. Ironically there is no permanent cure for this disease but there is a temporary cure. This disease is much more prevalent in developed countries and percentage of people affected by this disease in Asia is proportionally lower.
