Amy never allowed any strangers or new acquaintances kiss her baby boy, Oliver, and was a protective mom to him.
But someone within her circle of family and friends kissed the 14-month-old child — while they had a cold sore.
He now has a disease he’ll have to live with forever.
She doesn’t blame anyone, but instead took to Facebook to warn others about the potential danger.
On Facebook, she said: “This is what happens 2[sic] babies when been in contact with a coldsore[sic]. Oliver now has the herpes virus and will have this for life. Think before you kiss a baby next time.”
According to Little Things, baby Oliver was completely covered in sores after the kiss and, after rushing to the doctor, was given a diagnosis of herpes.
Oliver was in the hospital for four days with an IV drip — so this is clearly something people need to be more careful of.
