does smooch leads to any infectious disease?

Answer 1

cootes

Answer 2

Saliva can transmit, Aids, Herpes and gonorrea. Probably a few more, but that is enough for me. So a peck on the cheek is okay, but getting really into a deep smooch, better know who it is!

Answer 3

The only two things I can think of are Cold sore... a form of the Herpies Virus or Mononucliosis... but these days u can get both from just about anything

Answer 4

Infectious mononucleosis, commonly called mononucleosis, or "mono," is an illness caused by a viral infection, most often the Epstein-Barr virus. Mononucleosis has been nicknamed the "kissing disease" because Epstein-Barr virus commonly is transmitted in saliva during kissing. However, sneezes and coughs also can transmit the virus occasionally. In about 15% of cases, mononucleosis is caused by cytomegalovirus and human herpes virus-6, viruses that, like Epstein-Barr virus, are members of the herpes family. HIV infection, hepatitis viruses and even the parasitic infection toxoplasmosis can mimic infectious mononucleosis.

Mononucleosis typically occurs the first time a person is infected with Epstein-Barr virus. Once a person is infected, the virus remains alive in the body for the rest of his or her life. After the initial infection, it rarely produces any kind of illness, but it can be transmitted to others. The initial infection with Epstein-Barr virus does not always cause mononucleosis. It often causes only a mild illness, like a cold, or no illness at all. Epstein-Barr virus permanently infects more than 90% of the people on Earth, but it causes mononucleosis only in a small minority of them. In developed nations, such as the United States, mononucleosis most often develops between the ages of 15 and 25, although it can occur at any age.

Symptoms

The first symptoms of mononucleosis typically include fever, headaches, muscle aches and unusual fatigue, such as the need for 12 to 16 hours of sleep daily. These symptoms are followed very shortly by:

Sore throat
Enlarged lymph nodes
Chills
Joint aches
Loss of appetite and slight weight loss
Nausea and vomiting, occasionally
A red rash, usually on the chest — much more common if the person has recently taken the antibiotics ampicillin or amoxicillin (both sold under several brand names)
Abdominal pain
Enlarged spleen
Other rare symptoms include jaundice (yellow skin and eyes), difficulty breathing, coughing or irregular heart rhythms. In rare cases, an enlarged spleen can rupture. This is most likely to occur if the person is struck in the abdomen, possibly during contact sports or other activities. The spleen is a small organ near the stomach that houses many infection-fighting white blood cells, and purges worn-out red blood cells from the circulation. Untreated, a ruptured spleen can cause life-threatening internal bleeding.

Diagnosis

Your doctor will ask you about your medical history and current symptoms, as well as about your recent exposure to anyone with mononucleosis or mono-like symptoms.

During a physical exam, your doctor will look for signs of mononucleosis, especially fever, a reddened throat with enlarged tonsils (possibly covered with pus), swollen lymph nodes in the neck and elsewhere, an enlarged spleen (located in the upper left side of the abdomen) and a red rash, usually on the chest.

Your doctor also will do blood tests to help make the diagnosis. The results of these blood tests may not be abnormal until the person has been ill for a week. There are two types of blood tests that help to make the diagnosis:

Differential white blood cell count — This test identifies the number of each different type of white blood cells circulating in your blood. In the first few weeks of mononucleosis, the number of a type of white blood cell called lymphocytes is quite high. There also are large numbers of lymphocytes that look unusual — called atypical lymphocytes. Other conditions can increase the number of lymphocytes, but few other conditions produce atypical lymphocytes.


Heterophil tests — Mononucleosis causes white blood cells to make an unusual kind of antibody called heterophil antibody. Few other conditions cause this antibody to be produced. It can be measured using several different tests called heterophil tests. The traditional heterophil test usually takes one to two days. Newer tests give more rapid results, without sacrificing accuracy. For that reason, they are used more often.
Expected Duration

Symptoms of mononucleosis usually are most intense during the first two to four weeks of the illness. However, mononucleosis symptoms, especially fatigue, can sometimes last for several months.

Answer 5

if the person you kiss has AIDS, yes

you can also contract mononucelosis

kissing also increases the risk of meningitis among teens

and...kissing someone with open sores near there mouth is never a good idea

Answer 6

STDs? only if there is an open sore in the mouth or around the mouth. this goes for a light kiss too, you are swaping spits! (have fun ☺)

Answer 7

I have made a level in my existence now to not favor or not favor for something. adventure has taught me that the single ingredient you least likely favor, is the very ingredient it really is confident to gravitate in route of you.

Answer 8

You can get herpes if they have cold sores and such. If they are HIV then that is possible too, but unlikely.

Answer 9

Yep!

Answer 10
