You have no idea how helpful this is to me right now. I am in Chile on the most abominably slow pre-paid cell phone connection. I'm reading this from the mountains as we speak Thank you so much

As someone who gets cold sores this worries me. I know when I am super stressed because a cold sore will begin to appear on my lip. It's always there but stress allows it to replicate, all parts of my immune system are not able to cope during stressful events. I hope this doesn't mean I'm at risk for Alzheimer's disease. At least it's now known when people sleep it clears out beta-amyloid proteins in their brains. No…
Note that these results describe the presence of HHV-6 and HHV-7, which cause roseola. Herpes simplex is HSV-1 and HSV-2, which cause cold sores and genital herpes, respectively.

I don't know your situation, but if you don't already, you should get an RX for Valtrex or some other anti-viral. You can usually take it _before_ the cold sore appears if you can tell it's about to (swelling, stress, etc...) – and it can and often entirely suppresses the external appearance for most people.
Dude, that seems insane to me. Maybe you haven’t ever dived into the possible side effects of anti virals. But maybe you should? The risk/reward ratio of such a drug for cold sores is extremely poor.
There's also another study investigating association between HHV-6 and measles virus serology and brain antibody in autism:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9756729
Reading these studies makes me think an ineffective blood-brain barrier or a brain-specific defence might trigger common viruses to present a wider family of brain-related diseases.
We also know there is literature on encephalitis caused by both HHV-6 and measles. I'm speculating that even in a micro, benign form, this condition is enough the shake brain structure.
We should probably investigate a more complex but more generic model of brain diseases.

Put the phone down! :-)
We have service here, believe it or not. There's even wifi at 9,000ft in elevation. We're at 13,000 feet right now

Respectfully, which rule is at issue here?

As annoying as it is I can live with it I was just worried it was the type that raised the risk of Alzheimer's disease.

Thats's interesting but I'm referring to a cold sore not the genital or other types. As annoying as it is I can live with it I was just worried it was the type that raised the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
