Perchy asked:

I’m not asking whether I have it, I’m not asking what to do, I’m not asking what I should’ve done, I just want to know how long before I should see definite signs of ocular herpes. Thanks, everyone for your answers!
For a few days about a month ago and a half ago (around the same time as these other related symptoms started popping up) one of my eyes got really red like an infection so yeah. Would any of you assume that by now I’d have an outbreak?

Perchy asked:

One day of just being careless and not that futurespective, I negligently refused to recognize the bump on my face as a fever blister. I wiped my eye, picked my nose. Whatever. Now I’m super scared about having an extra case of eye herpes and nose herpes. How long after initial infection do the symptoms (minor flu, bloodshot eyes, etc) start to show themselves? Keep in mind I’m not talking about a herpes outbreak, but the subtle symptoms that indicate you have herpes.
