Cold sore scare
Hello I have a health question I know most people have this but I'm really scared So on the 13 of November I went to a cheer competition and I used my friends ChapStick the kind that's not in stick form but you have to use your fingers to apply it from the jar and we didn't see each other until the 15 and what's when I say her cold sore so I'm asking can I get cold sores. PS. When I used her chap stick that was in a jar she didn't have anything on her lips and I'm really terrified to get this even though it was 18 days ago.
