Contagious: Herpes is usually transmitted by contact with the cold sore or genital area in herpes 2. If a person shedding the virus and with eruptions touches your glass it's possible for the virus to be transmitted to you that way. Genital herpes virus can also cause herpes infection in the oral area.

Why does it taste so bad when I have a cold? Every single time I develop a cold, it starts with my saliva feeling slimy and tasting terrible for a good 2-3 days. Drinking a lot of water helps the problem, but I can only drink so much. What do I do?
