Has someone else also used the toy? if not, how can there be any herpes viruses on a toy only YOU use? herpes or any other stds' bacteria and viruses have to come from SOMEONE ELSE. that's why they're called sexually transmitted diseases; which means that it is TRANSMITTED from one person to another through sex. A virus or bacteria does not materialize out of nowhere on a toy only used by you. I hope this helps.
