From what I understand, the virus can transfer from one area of the body to another as well, so I wouldn't panic or worry about it. Lysine is very safe but if you try it, check with your doctor first just so he'll know you take it. It's cheaper than RX meds for controlling herpes outbreaks.

WOW, I'm trying this Ewizabeth :O I've had canker sores for as long as I can remember (very early childhood). My best bet to avoid getting them now is to avoid acidic foods (oranges especially).
Off to the drug store, I've seen this stuff on the shelf before, just never knew of anyone who had tried it out with positive results.
Thanks for sharing!!
