So I'm going to the beach for spring break next weekend and I'm excited and anxious at the same time. I usually look forward to this trip every year but I'm concerned about having an outbreak while I'm there. I'm 22 and of course I want to drink alcohol and have a good time but I know that alcohol can weaken your immune system and cause an outbreak. I'm not a heavy drinker and I don't really drink straight vodka. I usually drink like 2 or 3 mixed drinks but this will be for like 3 days straight drinking. Is there anything I can do to lessen my chances of having an outbreak? I have HSV 2. I can bring my drinking limit to maybe 1 or 2 drinks but I just don't see not drinking at all.
Hi tbh i wouldnt worry about the drinking different things trigger an outbreak for different people sun sex stress drinking can all be a cause for an outbreak
If your worried just take some vitamins with you that are for your immune system and eat good while you are there x
Thanks pixie1989! I already take lysine and a multivitamin daily. Do you have any suggestions as far as supplements for your immune system?
There are vitamins especially for your immune system and also eating foods that are naturally red in colour are really good for you immune system so red grapes red onions things like that are really good to eat x
Sounds good. Thanks again!
