It is my understanding that mom taking L-Lysine will not prevent baby
from contracting the herpes virus if contact with an open lesion occurs
during BF.  In addition from what I understand, L-Lysine only helps to
control outbreaks in a person who already has the herpes virus and will
not prevent a person from contracting the virus.  Please correct me if
I'm incorrect.
