Anyone else get cold sores from going to the gym?

Must be over doing it. Previously only ever got them when I was ill.

Now, in the last 2 weeks I've been working out. 3 workouts were particularly hard and long and each one followed by a nasty cold sore.

Grr.

Didn't even know that they could be triggered by exercise.

Can't they be triggered by stress? Also, your lips looking purdy muscly.

Yep, they can be triggered by stress, never had them triggered by over-exercise though.

And cold sores are the herpes simplex virus.

So what you are saying is that he shouldn't have oral sex with the bench press?

They can be triggered by people not wiping down the machines and spreading their filth.

No he's saying he shouldn't have oral sex with people with Herpes or rub his junk against the shower stall walls.
