(Just so we're clear, the simplex kind of herpes that causes cold sores isn't the same kind of herpes as the kind that infests sexual organs. Everybody knows that, right?)
It's possible Katie is giving him herpes. Hey! That is her part of the devil's bargain! Scientology for herpes.
Which would you rather have?
Ooh, thanks juliana! I'll go add it now!
I just finished the BMW movies. What was the deal with the "subplot" movies?
Everybody knows that, right?
As a long time sufferer of cold sores, I certainly did.
I was rather shocked in college to find out that my doctor had tested me for herpes because of a boil on my thumb.

Yes. The former is actually a flare-up of old chicken pox virus that's still wandering around the body.

Hey, I actually got herpes on my ring finger once. I had to run back into the main office from the server room, went to pull the door shut behind me, and caught my wedding ring on the latch, ripping a big hole in my finger. No worries, but, apparantly, before I got around to putting a band-aid on it, I grabbed a doorknob, or telephone, or something, that someone had touched after playing their cold sores, and . . . .

Nope. Chicken pox is Herpes Zoster, and when it flares up, it's called Shingles and it sucks donkey cock. Herpes Simplex 1 (HSV1) typically causes oral lesions (cold sores), and is more common than HSV2, the virus responsible for most genital lesions. However, HSV1 can cause genital outbreaks, and HSV2 can cause oral ones, so it's a blurry line.
One of 'em, probably HSV1, can also cause blistering rashes on the body that are spread by contact. IIRC, high school wrestling is a breeding ground for that.
(Per my prenatal bloodwork, I don't have HSV1 or HSV2, so I have no idea why I have the vast herpes knowledge that I do, though it might have something to do with being really bored and reading medical texts as a teen.)
Man, I'm going to see Batman in an hour (an hour and 5 minutes, to be exact), and I see 70+ new messages in here, and they're all about space clams in dirigibles!
Good work.
What, did you expect us to spoil you by mentioning that his parents get killed?
