Remember how we went off on that whole rant about how 1 in 5 women has herpes, and herpes can cause encephalitis, and do you really want to take that risk, etc etc? Well, now the chickens have come home to roost: a 35-year-old woman who contracted HSV in her third trimester kissed her baby while she had a cold sore — and the baby died.

It’s too fucking sad to joke about, but we trust you see our point.
