I was just going to say what everyone else said. I think that it's just your genetic makeup that determines weather or not you will actually get a cold sore if you indeed do have the virus, which most people do. I'm a healthy individual, but I have gotten a cold sore before in my life.

After talking to a doctor it was diagnosed as not being genital herpes, which is very good news. She said that almost everyone has herpes simplex, but it only comes out in a few people. One way to help yourself is to take a L-Lysine supplement. I have been taking 500mg a day and have never had a cold sore since.
