Anyone exposed to the herpes virus can experience the symptoms of cold sores. They can occur to people of all ages– everyone from infants to adults, although the frequency tends to slow down as a person gets older. More than 60% of those living in the United States have had at least 1 cold sore outbreak, and about 25% of those people have outbreaks on a regular basis. Many people contract the herpes virus before the age of 10. The virus is spread from person to person through direct contact, and may be spread even when symptoms are not occurring. Some people may contract the virus, but not have regular outbreaks– they are still carriers of the virus.
