recently binged watched Sister Wives… was struck by the number of times various wives exhibited sores on their mouths…. eeuwww Kody out there passing herpes simples -1 to the wives and wives kissing the kids… “
Another fan chimed in to note they never recalled seeing sores on Christine or Meri. A third fan responded jesting that the lack of herpes would be a benefit to not being intimate with their husband.
A different fan noted that some of the children — especially Logan — had issues with sores on their faces. Did Kody Brown pass herpes to his entire family including his children?
Is Kody Robyn Brown’s problem now?
One Sister Wives fans noted that for the past few years Kody Brown has been exclusively swapping spit with his favorite wife Robyn. So, his herpes would be exclusively her problem. Some Sister Wives fans admitted they felt their stomachs turning as Kody Brown swapping spit and giving herpes was not something they wanted to think about.
Other fans noted Kody potentially giving herpes to all of his wives and maybe even his children is another reason why the polygamist lifestyle wasn’t something they were interested in.
Are cold sores really herpes?
According to the Mayo Clinic, cold sores are a strain of the herpes simplex virus. Cold sores and herpes in a more intimate part of the body are technically two different strains. But, they are both contagious and passed through close contact. So, if Kody Brown had herpes he could have definitely passed it to his wives. On Reddit, fans noted Kody did appear to have cold sores under his nose in some episodes of the series.
