In defense of Lysol products.... When my father was stationed at a military base during WWII, he was assigned "KP" (kitchen duty), and cut himself badly while doing some prep work. Two of his fingers got very badly infected and the military doctor wanted to operate and possibly even amputate them.
My dad, being the independent cuss that he was told the doctor to "stick it" and bought a bottle of the "old fashioned" Lysol (in the brown glass bottle with the yellow cap), and proceeded to soak his fingers on a nightly basis (probably several times a day, at first anyway). The infection cleared up and his fingers healed perfectly, which was very important to him, since he played guitar for a living in his civilian life.
Throughout my childhood, we never went without a bottle of Lysol in the medicine cabinet and used it frequently. I can't say that the Lysol was responsible, but I never had an infection. It might have just been a coincidence, but I doubt it.
I noticed that back in 2008 I responded to this thread with a recommendation to use Lysine. Since that time I have discovered something that works even better. If you are interested, please DM me, I won't post the info here, because I don't need the negativity in my life. LOL

There you go, thank you so much for sharing this! Some people love to insult others and calling us stupid thinking they really know it all (what a joke!). Your father not only saved his fingers but in the process set an example that taught you to think out of the box, which is more than can be said for those who boast about their kind of "common sense".
well, I must say I have read all the threads on this post and this has been an educational moment for me. I'm new at this fever blister, herpes simplex, cold sore virus.
but if everyone agrees that stress can cause the flayring of this virus then why are there so many stressful posts.
now i'm thinking my one blister might multiply after reading this... lol just saying... lets help one another, we're all obviously very stressed out :-/
I had to double check that this was actually in the Alternative Medicine forum, what with people recommending Lysol, Valtrex and other toxic chemicals. I can't believe someone would expose themselves to Lysol poisoning. Read the label. Not smart.
Lysine is a good preventative measure, as is just generally taking all B vitamins. I am not sure what E would do, but I would think it would help. (I know you have to be careful with E if you are taking other meds).
I did not google natural remedies for cold sores, but imagine there are a ton . . .

One of my high school friends used to get cold sores all the time and she was told to take the supplement Lysine and she did start taking it and went for a few years without getting the cold sores. Within a couple weeks of not taking the Lysine she started getting them again.
I realize this is a very old thread but the information may still be helpful to someone.

L-lysine is a pretty well known treatment for cold sores. I never would've even considered it to be "alternative" medicine at all; it's usually recommended by doctors as a first choice. If it fails to work, they try more aggressive treatments.
I think it's worth reminding people though - lysine is not the same thing as lysol. Lysine = essential amino acid, useful for treating cold sores. Lysol - non-essential chemical liquid, useful for cleaning toilets.

LOL.........a few of those mouths are filthier than toilets and could probably use the Lysol
Hm, reminds me of a home remedy that a Philippino friend told me about once. She used to get sty's on her eyes fairly regularly so the maid would go out to the outhouse and get some cockroach eggs and grind them into a paste and apply that to the sty. The next day she'd be fine. I've never had a sty so didn't get a chance to try it. LOL
I wish I had taken pictures for the non believers. Lysol spray worked miracles for me. I actually sprayed it directly on the blisters on my genitals and it worked like a charm. The blisters dried up in no time.In a day as a matter of fact. Never saw anything like it. I don't know why it is not being marketed for herpes. On one occasion I sprayed the lysol on a cotton ball and dabbed it but that was not nearly as effective as the blast from the spray. I sprayed it 3 to 4 times that day on the third day I was smiling
