Good start to the year - no cold sores

Something of a miracle seems to have happened at the beginning of this year. Not only is the weather good, but so far I haven't had any cold sores. The ones I get are unpleasantly inside my nose, so at least not on my lips for everyone to see, but it gets a bit messy in there.
