Where Did Cold Sores Come From?
The fight probably began millions of years ago when Oxygen began to replace Sulfur in the Earths lower atmosphere. That was when micro-life came out of the planetary waters seeking the best host they could locate on dry land.All of these microscopic life forms were in need of varying requirements for survival. And progress in their adaption over millions of years helped them to determine where they could best survive. They were constantly evolving to adapt and survive in an ever changing world.Among those simple life forms included the especially adaptive micro-life that we now classify as the many varieties of virus.Throughout Earth's existence these Virus have survived in two unique ways.The first way is by openly invading the host in an attempt to consume all that is needed from the host to survive. Such invasion is readily recognized by the host immune system and a life and death battle eventually determines the outcome.Either the virus is conquered or the host dies. A prime example of this particular type would be a flu virus.But the second method is a much more highly evolved virus that has learned to live within the host without doing anything that would alert the immune system.The Herpes Virus falls in this category as a compatible virus in human hosts. Over millions of years the Herpes Virus has adapted not only to the human host but has found the best ways to use us to reproduce its own species. It wisely chose areas of human intimate contact to provide easy transfer and replication using the human oral and sexual areas of body. The Cold Sore does not exclude any nationality, the Cold Sore is universal.
