Justlike Mono. Many people carry the Epstein-Barr virus, but never get sick. Kissing someone who's a carrier, could very-well lead you on a path that could lead to full-blown Mononucleosis, and eventually, debilitating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Take it from me, I have it.Originally Posted by HypoPita
LOL!!
I have never gotten it either, and I am messy, let them crawl on me and gimme kisses. I also have a very strong immune system. Just keep in mind though, for the people that are freaking out, we all carry strep and staff in our mouths. A small cut in your mouth could let millions of bacteria in, which can travel in your blood stream and get stuck in your heart. That is known as Bacterial Endocarditis. It destroys your valves, causing them to leak, and then you die.
Immune systems people, immune systems!! Take your vitamins!!!!(had actual Mono at age 18; chronic fatigue now.) I shouldn't have kissed the people that I kissed in high school., I guess... then again, anyone could be a carrier.. !
More for me and the other germophobes to be paranoid about.
