There are several reasons for a Herpes attack |
 |
Many people with HSV have reported that stress, increased exposure to the sun, viral infections, facial injuries and eating foods high in arginine, such as chocolate, peanuts and walnuts, may increase the chance and severity of outbreaks.
In addition, some have found that excessive usage of antibiotics can limit the immune system's ability to keep the disease within the nerve ganglia.
Allergic reactions can also trigger an outbreak; for example chronic Herpes genitalis may be caused by a chronic undiagnosed low-level food allergy for example.
What do I do when I get an attack?If you are in the middle of an attack, avoid touching the affected area, and wash your hands frequently.
From the first time you notice any symptoms until they have disappeared completely, avoid sexual contact with anyone.
If you haven’t already seen your doctor, make an appointment to discuss your treatment. It is worth investigating some of the treatments available over the counter to help with symptom control and boost the immune system.
Getting enough sleep and eating a healthy, well balanced diet, and managing your stress levels effectively will help reduce occurrences. |
