The physicians speculated that the youngster may have acquired it via a kiss from someone who had a fever blister, which is another name for a cold sore.
“The herpes virus could have probably only been spread by someone with an active blister kissing our baby on, near, or on his hand, which he then touched his eye with,” said Mrs. Saaiman.
The 36-year-old admitted to Metro that at first, she found the diagnosis hard to accept. “I thought it was an April Fool’s joke, so I was literally staring at the doctor, wondering if it was April 1,”
She added. Juwan’s illness took weeks for medical professionals to manage, but by then, the eye damage was already done.
At that point, his cornea was so severely damaged by the herpes that he was basically blind and unable to see anything. He had no sight at all.
