{Kissing is fun and sweet when you do it with the right person and at the right time; however, if done with the wrong person or without proper discretion, it can create more problems than expected.}<\/p>\n
There are a number of diseases one can contract from kissing, and I\u2019ve got 8 of them lined up below\u2026<\/p>\n
{{1. Tooth decay}} <\/p>\n
Tooth decay is a condition caused by dangerous bacteria, and it can be passed on from one person to another through kissing. This is no surprise, since kissing involves a lot of saliva movement and exchange.<\/p>\n
{{2. Hepatitis B }} <\/p>\n
Hepatitis B is a disease caused by a virus. The virus attacks the liver and can lead to death and other dangerous conditions. It can be passed through blood and other bodily fluids\u2026 including saliva.<\/p>\n
{{3. Strep throat }} <\/p>\n
Also known as \u2018Sore throat\u2019 is a condition caused by streptococcal bacteria. It is characterised by the inability to swallow saliva, pains in the throat, fever, etc. It can also be shared via kissing.<\/p>\n
{{4. Influenza (flu) }} <\/p>\n
This is a common respiratory illness caused by an influenza virus. Like the aforementioned, it can be contracted through kissing an infected person.<\/p>\n
{{5. Viral meningitis}}<\/p>\n
As the name suggests, this is a disease caused by a virus which results in an inflammation of the tissue covering the brain and spinal chord. It is also transmissible through kissing.<\/p>\n
{{6. Herpes simplex 1}}<\/p>\n
Commonly referred to as \u2018oral herpes\u2019, this disease can be contracted when you lock lips with an infected person.<\/p>\n
{{7. Gum disease}} <\/p>\n
You probably didn\u2019t know that you can catch gum disease by kissing an infected person.<\/p>\n
{{8. Mononucleosis }} <\/p>\n
This disease isn\u2019t called \u2018the kissing disease\u2019 for nothing; it can actually be passed through kissing. It is caused by a virus, the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and is characterised by fever, sore throat, etc.<\/p>\n
So those were some of the diseases you can contract via kissing, but don\u2019t let it deter you from kissing, after all, the act isn\u2019t a bad thing, just make sure you don\u2019t do it with the wrong person, and at the wrong time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
