The main cause of developing fever blisters is contracting Herpes Simplex Virus type-1 (HSV-1). From that point the condition can be triggered by stress, illness, trauma to the lip area, sun exposure, or those with health issues that affect their immune system and weaken them.

HSV-1 will only live minutes outside the body.

Oral herpes could be passed through biting if some one bites through the skin while they have a cold sore.

Went in a public jacuzzi where it turns out they do not use chlorine (only an infrared cleaning system). Sat without a swimsuit (like the others in there at the time) for 15 minutes. Didn't touch anyone but rocked on the seat (not smooth). Ended up with herpes on my butt. Have been in a committed heterosexual relationship for years but have not had sex in over a month because of my partner's recent surgery. We've both been laid off and consequently home with each other virtually all the time (my partner doesn't even have a car). No other possible exposure to herpes. Now someone tell me you can't get herpes through water.
