This is not true. The Earthâs movement around the sun has very little effect on the onset of seasons at either hemisphere. In fact, the Earth is at the Perihelion or closest to the sun around the winter solstice, while the earth is farthest away from the sun or at the Aphelion around the summer solstice.
How long do cold sores last? From the time of the first tingle, a cold sore will take between 7 and 10 days to completely heal - sometimes up to 14 days. Each cold sore goes through several stages before it disappears. In the vast majority of cases, the sore will heal without scarring.
Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). If you get cold sores, youâre not alone. More than half of Americans ages 14 to 49 carry the virus that causes cold sores. The virus stays in the body after the cold sores clear. If the virus reactivates, or wakes up, you may get cold sores again. Cold sores are generally not serious. In healthy people, cold sores tend to clear within 2 weeks. If you have a cold sore, however, you can spread the virus to others who donât have the virus.
