i'm one of those poor sods that got kissed as an infant by a grandmother with a cold sore - now whenever i'm stressed or getting unwell, out they come. so far i've only had a mild swelling since pg, so i'm hoping i'm strong enough (immunity-wise) to keep them at bay.

from what i read in that article - parents who are already infected will pass a degree of immunity to their child - is that right? as i said, i've had this virus forever, and would hate to unknowingly pass it to a young bubba (first day i never really notice them - i don't always get that "tingling" feelin - i usually wake with the swelling in the morning...)
