Cold sores are typically caused by Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1). Genital herpes on the other hand is usually caused by a different strand of the virus called Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV2). It is possible to transfer the different viruses to other areas of the body.
Chuck Barris, the wacky host of The Gong Show, died Tuesday at the age of 87. His publicist confirmed he passed away from natural causes at his home in Palisades, New York. Barris was the creator of The Gong Show and two other popular TV game shows, The Newlywed Game and The Dating Game.
The Gong Show eventually had three later revivals, one under Barris' title (with Don Bleu) in 1988â89, one on The Game Show Network in 2000 called Extreme Gong and another with current format owner Sony Pictures Television (with Dave Attell) in 2008.
