I'm really worried about whether I'm going to get mono, so here's the situation:
I recently went to camp and my counselor had just recovered from mono. I think she had it like 2 weeks before I went to camp, and she had supposedly recovered. Two days ago, I let her borrow my chapstick without realizing that she had mono before, and I used it again after her. Am I going to get sick?
I have been feeling quite tired, unusually cold, and I have had a loss of appetite, but I think that this is because I'm tired from camp.

Mono usually takes 3-4 weeks to recover from. Listen if you're scared or worried, go to the doctor for peace of mind. No one here is going to have the right answer but a doctor.

Your loss of appetite is from stress and worrying about this. If you are under age, tell your parents what you accidentially did, so they can have you checked out. Mono is very contagious.

Chances are you don't have it, but just go get checked.

this should not result in mono, just keep an eye on your symptoms. You can also get an antibody test that will tell you if you already have protective antibodies or prevously exposed.
