Where did Herpes disease come from? It originates from the the virus called Herpes Simplex type 2 or HSV-2. When this virus enters your skin, it stays in your skin's nerve cells or it goes to your nervous system. If your mother had Herpes during her
very crucial pregnancy, you are most likely to have one, too, because Herpes virus is contagious. Sometimes, the virus subsides but stress, illness, sunburn, and injury awakens the virus. Some symptoms include a numb sensation, burning, tingling, and small and painful blisters. You might also feel weak and might have fever.
