Cold sores and fever blisters are different names for the same problem. They’re both caused by the herpes simplex virus and they’re quite contagious. Cold sores usually last about seven to ten days. They start out with a tingling feeling around the outside of your lip, and within a day or two there are red, raised, fluid filled blisters which appear in that same area.
In rare cases, a cold sore can form on other areas of your face, including inside your mouth, on your nose, or on your chin. Cold sores can take up to twenty days to develop after someone has been exposed to the virus that causes them.

All had at least one phthalate and most had more than one. The highest levels were in the youngest babies.
