Sweltering weather is a rarity in Seattle. The city averages only two days a year of temperatures in the 90s Fahrenheit and normally doesnt get any hotter than 100. Nights are equally moderate with minimum temperatures dropping below 70 Â°F. Just ten times a year, on average does the daily low remain in the 60s.
A cold sore is a fluid-filled, painful blister that is usually on or around the lips. Other names for a cold sore are fever blister, oral herpes, labial herpes, herpes labialis, and herpes febrilis. Cold sores most often occur on the lips which distinguishes them from the common canker sore which is usually inside the mouth.
PAINFUL cold sores can be hard to get rid of â and really dent your confidence. JUST the name â cold sore â conjures up thoughts of a bleak mid-winter affliction. Little wonder when the painful facial blisters are often brought on by icy winds, colds and flu. And with healing taking up to a fortnight, that painful tell-tale tingle can herald weeks of misery. Herpes simplex â the virus that triggers cold sores â is surprisingly common. It is carried by seven in 10 of the population, but only one in four of those will ever turn into sores.
