In Britain, a newborn baby almost died after contracting herpes virus in his eye after someone kissed him during a christening celebration.
Noah Tindle, at just 4-weeks-old, was with his mother, Ashleigh White. The mom noticed her baby’s eye had swollen, blistered, and was watering.
First, the 21-year-old mom asked for advice from a health visitor in September last year who told her that his son’s condition was probably a blocked tear duct.
But after a few days, the baby’s condition worsened, and Ashleigh noticed blisters around the newborn’s eye. The worried mom took her baby to the doctors straight away, fearing he was suffering from herpes.
