well, I was thinking about you while protecting my lips from this thread the last few days. one of the best ways I have found to help prevent those horrible things is to take care of your lips every single day all day. moisturize at night, moisturize and protect during the day with good lip conditioner with sunscreen. lipcolors now come with all this so its pretty easy. I keep all kinds of good lip balms, conditioners, etc all over the house, in my purse, in my car, etc.
this does not stop the virus but I have found that good lip care keeps the virus from turning into fever blisters - most of the time.
diet and overall health play a role too but whattayagonna do. take care of the lips.
