If a dormant pathogen is attacked It will often awaken and you could have an outbreak. No surprise.
Just like last week when I was doing some chines pressure points to get all the meridian activated. Stimulating the nerves. I had a small shingles outbreak. I then used the Hulda Clark / Rife method to stop it in its tracks.
Are you sure it's Herpes? It could be anything. If youv'e had chicken pox before it could be Herpes Zoster. Which is much better but still no fun. Only one way to tell. Get it swabbed and tested by a doctor. If you find out exactly what it is, you will be able to treat it much more effectively.
