The feared (but not life-threatening) condition of herpes gets its name from which type of animals?
Correct Incorrect Herpetology is the study of reptiles; the word comes from the Greek ""herpetos,"" meaning ""crawling."" Labial herpes appears as fever blisters on the rips or, more rarely, inside the mouth. It is not serious or life-threatening, but can be quite stigmatizing.
