PARTIES spread more than cheer — microbiologists warn your favorite dips may be harboring herpes! If a guest with a cold sore dunks a chip after taking a bite, they can easily spread the herpes simplex virus responsible for the blemish to others, say experts. Vomit-inducing norovirus and streptococcus — a bacteria that causes painful throat infections — can also be transmitted by the social crime of double-dipping. According to experts, since thousands of organisms live in even tiny amounts of saliva, nasty bugs can transfer and multiply rapidly — especially because room temperature foods provide the perfect habitat. Sour cream–based dips were found to be the worst, with tests showing deposited bacteria multiplied 100 times. Thicker nondairy dips, like hummus, showed relatively little growth — but disease-causing culprits still…
