Four human herpes viruses have been found to reactivate in astronauts on Space Shuttle and International Space Station missions, according to new research by NASA.
The study, published in Frontiers in Microbiology last month, found that those viruses were able to flare up because of the high levels of stress astronauts undergo during spaceflight. It also found that the longer the mission, the higher the rates of reactivation.
Oh, you naughty, naughty astronauts!

Space herpes. Sounds like some US astronauts really get around, and not just while in orbit. Dirty buggers.
Pretty much a long known fact that stress can reactivate herpes viruses. It wouldn't matter whether you are in space or on terra-firma.
