Well if you develop symptoms it can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. If you donât have symptoms, you could have an outbreak within 3 weeks. However if you donât show symptoms or outbreaks you will still want to be tested by a doctor to be sure you do not have herpes.
That may sound like a way to help cover your nutritional bases, especially if your diet is less than stellar. But routinely getting an overload of vitamins and minerals can hurt you. Too much vitamin C or zinc could cause nausea, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. Too much selenium could lead to hair loss, gastrointestinal upset, fatigue, and mild nerve damage.
People who get little or no vitamin C (below about 10 mg per day) for many weeks can get scurvy. Scurvy causes fatigue, inflammation of the gums, small red or purple spots on the skin, joint pain, poor wound healing, and corkscrew hairs.
