They wouldn't really know for sure unless they studied a large number of people who took the risk and reported back on the results. Edited by - lindi on 4/4/2005 12:15:37 AM  [Link] |

| Valentino Member Celina Jaitly, the new Goddess...... 448 Posts 8/04 | Posted - Apr 4 2005 : 6:21PM Cold sores are only transmittable til the point that they're dried in again. But until that time the risk is very high. So yes, it's wise not to touch the sores at all. That also goes for things that have been in contact with the sores, like towels and such.
