Hey all you STD infected! We’re about to save you a trip to the free clinic:
Good ol’ Lysol, known for its germ, mold, and mildew eradicating ability can add a new foe to the list: Herpes Simplex Virus Types 1 & 2. Why use Abreva when you can use Lysol?

Lysol’s parent company Reckitt Benckiser urges consumers not to use Lysol on porous surfaces. So while we can’t suggest you apply it to your skin, we CAN casually mention that prescription drugs are awfully expensive these days, and, gee, wouldn’t it be great to clear those unsightly cold sores for just three dollars? According to this study Lysol takes 5 minutes to kill herpes, while rubbing alcohol kills it instantly. If you’re looking for a less hardcore way to get rid of your herps, Purell is probably just around the aisle. But of you’re going to be a weeny about it you might as well just go to the doctor, baby.
