For one thing, folks would possibly not be truthful and just might be trying to work out if anyone will follow them. Here's a good thread on the theme of herpes. Have folk tested these? Here are some Ive studied and my reviews : * Avoid peanuts and foods high in argine. I've found this to be a good tip as I do get cold sores from having peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as time because of the argine making the other amino acids out of alignment. If I am taking l-lysine however I will eat peanut butter sparsely. I've not attempted this but have read that folks use this for chigger. I'm not sure if putting nail polish remover on ones lip is a brilliant idea thanks to the chemicals. It is tough to test this as there isnt a concealed spot to try it on * Apply toothpaste and leave on overnite.
