1. I’ve read you mention that a towel would cool quickly. I used the paper towel 3-4 hours later but what about the chapstick being on the paper towel? Would that possibly extend the life of herpes virus on the towel and make it still infectious 3-4 hours later?
I understand the question. The answer is that this situation presents no risk of transmission
