The mono virus is found in saliva and mucus. It is usually passed from one person to another through kissing, although it may rarely be passed in other ways, such as coughing. Signs of mono usually develop 4 to 6 weeks after you're exposed to the virus. Generally, people only get mono once. It's most common among people 15 to 35 years old.

Kissing and drinking behind someone else. Also, if you have epstein barr. That's some kind of underlying condition. I had mono last year, and I only kiss one person who does not have mono and I never drink behind anyone else. Turns out I'm just vulnerable to it. If I don't get enough rest, etc. I could end up with it again. My Dr. said it could be recurring.

My children and I got it at the Doctor's office, like everyone else there that week. I guess reading the books and playing with the toys there is not a good thing to do. We all had it at the same time and it was horrible. Water fountains, door knobs can have the germs, then if you put your fingers to your mouth, BAM you got it. I guess kissing like mouth to mouth would get it too, but I was single and I' didn't kiss my kids on their mouth.
