Hmmm... kissing is fun, but perhaps you should stick with ONE person. Mono is what people refer to as the 'kissing disease' because it's common in teens and it's spread through saliva (you don't actually have to kiss someone to get it). I think the toes turning black thing is meningitis (or rather the septic shock some people get from the infection). In any case, there's also herpes simplex (cold sores), the common cold, the flu etc, etc. Hope this helps. PS... stay safe ;-)

Terms related to Infectious Mononucleosis:
Epstein-Barr Virus; glandular fever; Infectious Mono; Mono; Mononucleosis


Mononucleosis is typically transmitted from asymptomatic individuals through blood or saliva (hence "the kissing disease"), or by sharing a drink, or sharing eating utensils. The disease is far less contagious than is commonly thought. In rare cases a person may have a high resistance to infection.[citation needed] The disease is so-named because the count of mononuclear leukocytes (white blood cells with a one-lobed nucleus) rises significantly. There are two main types of mononuclear leukocytes: monocytes and lymphocytes. They normally account for about 35% of all white blood cells. With infectious mononucleosis, this can rise to 50-70%. Also, the total white blood count may increase to 10,000-20,000 per cubic millimeter.

Mononucleosis is usually caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which infects B cells (B-lymphocytes), producing a reactive lymphocytosis and atypical T cells (T-lymphocytes) known as Downey bodies.




The list of complications that have been mentioned in various sources for Mononucleosis includes:

Persistent tiredness - often for weeks
Chronic fatigue syndrome
Hepatitis
Encephalomeningitis (see Encephalitis)
Encephalitis
Ruptured spleen
Blood dyscrasia
Ruptured spleen

The only thing I could think of turning one's toes blood is blood dyscrasias- such as in hemolytic anemia where there destruction of red blood cells. When the virus spread and cause more toxins at the periphery.

When performed proper it may be very passionate and arousing , nonetheless there are occasions whilst a gentle kiss at the cheek or lips can consider the equal . One does not ought to do struggle with their tongues whenever they kiss . Then there are those who simply simple do not understand how to kiss good and the very first thing they do is stick their tongue down your throat tongues will have to be caressing one one more in a few one-of-a-kind approaches but when a man or woman does not kiss good then they will have to no longer be doing it since it's going to simplest spoil the temper and any intimacy .

well the "kissing disease" is mono (Infectious Mononucleosis). it's a form of the herpes virus, just like a cold sore. when you get it there's a huge chance you'll carry it for life. it's transmitted through kissing, but you get if from someone who already has it, and they might not ever show it. as for the toe thing that just sound rediculous

Sounds like an urban legend. Mono is received by contact with an infected person. It is carried by a virus. Herpes (or cold sores) is also a virus that can be transfered by kissing.
