If you have ever had one of these nasty items, then you have no doubt wondered about the answer to this question. The problem is, many people do not understand what these eruptions really are, even if they have them. They are often mistaken for other things. The seriousness of them is often misunderstood.
For instance, did you know that cold sores are actually caused by the herpes virus? It is rarely ever the strand which also causes genital herpes, but it is a herpes virus nonetheless. As such, you can already tell that they are indeed contagious.
They are extremely common and a lot of people have them. In the United States alone, around eighty percent of the entire population has been exposed to the very same virus that causes cold sores. Some of them do not experience outbreaks, but they still have the virus.
Because they typically occur within or around the mouth, you can see how the virus can easily spread. How often do you think about them if you are kissing a friend, family member, or significant other? Exactly - most of us never give it a thought.
You really need to, however, because it is easy to pass them along to someone else. It is quite typical for people to mistake a cold sore for a canker sore or vice versa. Canker sores are not quite so serious as cold sores.
Now, the period that they stay contagious will typically vary from person to person. For the most part, however, they are the most contagious when the blister breaks and turns into an open sore. During that period, you will be highly contagious. Thus, once the sore has healed over and is no longer open, your risk of being contagious is far less.
