Vitamin C to prevent cold sores

¦ I suffer regularly from cold sores, particularly when I am under a lot of stress at work. Is there anything natural that works to get rid of or prevent cold sores?

>>> Cold sores occur as result of exposure to the herpes simplex virus, which lies dormant in the system until it is triggered.

Stress is a very common trigger, along with compromised immunity, certain foods, or even too much sunlight.
