When you get a cold sore...?!
Question: When should you throw out your toothbrush
Answers: When should you throw out your toothbrush
Although you should obviously change your toothbrush regularly, having a cold sore has nothing whatever to do with this.
The herpes virus only survives for a few seconds outside the body and so CANNOT reinfect you or infect someone else from your toothbrush, because the virus will be dead. Herpes is ONLY transmitted skin to skin.
Toss it after the sore is healed, or you'll just re-infect yourself.
you should change your tooth brush regualrly...
Just avoid contact with the sore.
The proper term for it is Herpes Simplex
