I note that the headline doesn't say that the HSV found was type I, which most commonly causes cold sores on the mouth - an infection found in over half the popuation. Nor does the piece mention how many other books carried miniscule traces of HSV. Nor does it mention where this work was published - I can't find anything on Pubmed.

You should see what can be cultured from your kitchen sink...
