oral herpes
Can you get herpes from someone with a crusted over cold sore if they spit when you're talking to them and it lands on your face (more specifically, your lip)?
No you have to touch the cold sore
This is theoretically possible, but highly unlikely.
Herpes is at times contagious, and at other times dormant. Is is likely to be dormant when a sore is encrusted. Secondarily, the body has an imune system and simply being in contact with an organism does not mean you will become a host.
