cut
Cuts and puncture wounds
? And if so, despite my washing my
hands
Hand or foot spasms
Hand tremor
, could I be infecting my son when I floss his
teeth
Broken or knocked out tooth

HSV transmission to another part of your body is rare. You have antibodies that fight the infection in a new site.
Aslong as you arne't touching your cold sore and then the dental floss you have no concern. But really if you have an active
cut
Cuts and puncture wounds
you should avoid your sons mouth just because of your cut.
