Cold Sores a Good Sign?

An epidemiology researcher from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle says that oral cancer is more prevalent in people who don’t get cold sores. Upon interviewing 260 patients, she found that those who harbored the herpes simplex 1 virus but didn't get cold sores were twice as likely to contract oral cancers. She concludes that a cold sore may be a sign of a healthy immune system.11 (I might agree that it is a sign of at least some immune system activity, though the word "healthy” may be a bit strong.)
