Herpes in Eye

[kcatx475]

Hey all, again, I have another quick question.

I was sleeping last night and I guess I drooled while I was sleeping, woke up this morning and looked around put my face back on the pillow and my left eye went right into the drooled part of my pillow, but the thing is I have a little soar on the inside my lip at the moment that came about the day after I asked my first question because I was so stressed out from it I think.

Can Herpes be spread like this? My eye was closed and not open, but it just worries me that I could have infected my eye. My eye feels a little funny and it was twitching but I don't know if it's just in my head and I making myself have symptoms. Please help.

occular herpes almost always occurs in adults from the virus reactivating and going up the nerve into the eye, not from the eye being in contact with the virus.

You can have canker sores and also have oral herpes both.

Alright so it's actually a canker soar in my mouth, I always thought that canker soars were from Herpes! After reading on here though I found out they are two totally different things.

So I'm guessing the whole pillow thing is fine?
